I think Patrick is saying that in Gecko today, a "cheap layout operation"
is on the order of 50 microseconds, so an overhead of 2 microseconds for
switching to the layout task in Servo is not going to be a problem for that
workload. Which sounds reasonable. He's not testing that page in Servo,
just Gecko. BTW Patrick does the 47 microseconds hold up if you use a fixed
number of iterations instead of calling Date.now() every iteration?

How about if the layout work function in Brian's test does something that
damages the cache? It would be interesting to measure that :-).
