I don't understand the point of the inverse sticky technique. Scrolling too fast still breaks the experience (content refuses to scroll), and in a way that, at least to me, feels more disruptive than blanking for a fraction of a second. I might just be too used to blanking.
Also ... shouldn't browsers just be able to render the diff without any of the trickery? Is the browser's job actually that hard for long pages, or are they just not optimising for this? Or is there some other reason for the virtualisation (e.g. memory usage)?
