dialog overlay slowness

dialog overlay slowness


All the extra work the overlay for modal dialogs does is hurting me
badly: testers are reporting that the site is incredibly slow, and
especially with webkit nightlies it is impossible to use a form inside
a panel.
Personally I consider preventing the user from navigating to something
underneath the overlay an edge-case that I might not care about,
especially if that means choosing between decent and dreadful
performance.
What are the current plans for dealing with this issue?
