Could a root-kit using VT bypass this for the guest if it was specifically built to not include any of these "fixes"?

There's supposed to be a "< sarcasm >" at the end of the first paragraph.
I've complained and complained about how poor the performance of Firefox and Chrome and IE Javascript and CSS rendering engines to every board that they have!! I just can't get them to fix the speed with my desire to have 15 javascript frameworks and 38 custom stylesheets and have those automatically generate all the text in my site in a specific location so that I can resize the screen and have things bounce around and look just a little bit different in case someone with a mobile phone happens to come across my page and managed to get it loaded into the mobile browser before the render engine the browser to run out of memory and be killed by the operating system!!!!!
When you write up a nice block of text, browsers are super duper fast. Add in some images: still super fast. Add some basic javascript: cool beans, they can handle that. Some CSS to make things pretty? SURE! Oh, you want to lump in a generic framework of 800 functions, of which you really only need to use 10 of them, and an associated set of stylesheets that are then rewritten by parts of said JS Framework to draw out 13 little buttons? Well, that's going to work but your going to pay a price.
Web developers, do the internet a favor and test your pages on a browser running in a virtualmachine with 25% of 1 CPU and 512MB of memory, and force the network speed down to 2-4Mbps. And on that same VM, profile the page to see how it's render performance is handled. Then fix the page until it works there. Please, use all the JS files you want, but if your page takes more then 3 seconds to fully render, you're doing a disservice to the whole web.
And go away with any "upgrade your computer" BS. No one's using a C64 here. If you're page can render in 3 seconds on that VM, imagine what it will do on a modern PC.
