Alex, didn't tell me once about the order of the actions (setStyle, addChild) would also impact? Cant' remember what was the order but styling and adding it as a child would also force additional invalidations.
Regarding virtual layout, do the items need to be all visible at the same time? I would recomend to use as the most lightweight component as possible, does your container need to be a mx:VBox? Couldn't he simply be a s:VBox (doesn't have any styling)? Even to optimize it further, instead of creating all those nested containers, you could use a s:List with a custom layout do place your lightweight items.
