Yes, we all know that. The flaw here was not looping on itself a thousands of times, wow. It was a DOM implementation flaw.
The code created an oversized list, which does not seem to be that far from creating an overly nested DOM tree, or drawing an oversized CANVAS shape, or any other creating-too-many-things-for-the-renderer-to-handle attacks... but really, I'm not trying to be dismissive, just saying that a more holistic approach might be more beneficial in the long run. /mz
