I'm still waiting for Kaldari or someone in mobile to merge https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/131892 before I can confirm the current state.
It definitely seems to be marginally improved on desktop and mobile (with desktop benefiting most) after a few runs.
For the record the nasty page I'm testing on is http://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Jon%27s_nasty_VE_test_page?mobil...

The former should address the importNode problem Jon mentioned and the latter should improve CSS performance, as it addresses something similar to a problem in MF that Jon reported.
As James said, new performance feedback after these changes (though in fairness one of them was merged only this week) would be helpful. We think we've quashed most of the things Jon flagged initially, but we may not have done so adequately or new problems may now be surfacing.
