So it sounds like updateComplete event is fired anyway, is that correct? Would the scrollbars be added during that event, or during the validateNow()?
I'm often adding a bunch of small images at one time, I don't see any slowdown. Unless the updateComplete/validation isn't done until my method stack completes.
