It was a useful feature for a variety of reasons. The algorithm Doug
refers to would be unnecessary to the feature in the new version 9
because I for one wasn't asking for live update of the number of
lines. the user would be aware that a dynamic page is not static and
page content along with the number of lines may change. That said,
most dynamic pages I can think of tend to settle after a few seconds
of being loaded into the browser.

As a user, I think it should be a feature the user decides to turn on or
off. I understand this could slow the rendering of web pages down, but I
also think it could be useful. Sometimes I currently use that information to
try and guestimate how long the web page is or how long it will take me to
read. Plus, what if you wanted to create a mobile site and want to make it a
certain length vs. the regular site. It could just be used more as a
measuring stick for us. Perhaps there are other uses as well though. I
haven't downloaded the beta yet so will this hotkey speak the number of
links, frames etc.? That's definitely useful.

With respect, I disagree, it makes much sense to have line numbers,
even with dynamic pages. For example, if the user was also informed
that the content was dynamically updated he would be able to decide
what to do with the information.
