I didn't have a chance to look over you code samples but shallow / 
inspecific selectors can run slower than more specific selectors

So

li * {styles here}

will run slower than

li span,
li a,
li em {styles here}

At least that is the case with IE but its always special like that. 
Perhaps dreamweaver is equally special
