Then don't use Event.observe. It's really only necessary when you
want to add more than one handler to a particular intrinsic event.
Your original example could be:
function changeColour(){
this.style.backgroundColor = '#00FF00';
}
function doEeet() {
var startTime = new Date();
var i = 4000;
var body = document.body;
while (i--) {
var el = document.createElement("div");
el.className = "dot";
el.onmouseover = changeColour;
body.appendChild(el);
}
el = null;
$('totalTime').innerHTML = new Date() - startTime + ' ms';
}
doEeet();
Which runs in IE 6 about 3 times faster than Firefox (for me, about
170ms versus 630ms).

Why on earth do you add a reset button to a form by adding a plain
button, then using script to call the form's reset method?
Replace all those individual events with one single event that detects
the element clicked on and acts accordingly.
