when you say something is "slow" (which is always a relative value)
you also have to give some references. Slow in contrast to what?

Layers in Dynapi are created dynamically, which means they are
inserted  into the Browser's document object tree. This type of
operation does always take a bit time (it's the same with replacing
innerHTML), and if you compare Dynapi's implementation with the native
one you'll see that there's only a small overhead in the former.
If you want to see what "slow" means try the same example with
Netscape 4 ;-)

If speed is more important than code size you could eventually speed
up the loading by using inline layers... but I wouldn't recommend it.

Regards,
  Stephan
