How big can I make the DOM tree without degrading performance?
I'm making a single page application, and one approach I am considering is keeping all of the templates as part of the single-page DOM tree (basically compiling server-side and sending in one page). I don't expect each tree to be very complicated.

Given this, what's the maximum number of nodes on the tree before a user on a mediocre computer/browser begins to see performance degradation? For example, 6 views stored as 6 hidden nodes each with 100 subnodes of little HTML bits.

Thanks for the input!
