Paper definitely looks much better.

But with the broken browsers and hardware and graphic drivers currently 
out there - for example on my machine, Fedora with Firefox - it is quite 
a bit slower than classic.

An unscientific measurement is scrolling up and down as fast as I can. 
With classig style it uses all cpu, but Gnome System Monitor keeps 
updating. With the current paper style it uses so much cpu that Gnome 
System Monitor stops updating and the system feels sluggish.

No matter how much better the paper layout looks, Mercurial should be 
able to run on all systems without unnecessary slowdown.

The slowdown seems to be because of the fixed positioning of the menu.

The paper style looks almost as nice with
sed -i 's,fixed,absolute,g' templates/static/style-paper.css
and seems to be much faster to render. Would that be an acceptable 
compromise? Perhaps some CSS gurus could come up with a better solution?
