Do it server side on the fly.  That eliminates the need for javascript 
on client side.  Yes, it will take a bit longer to unhide/rehide stuff, 
but that is balanced by the fact that no 'hidden' stuff and no JS code 
needs to be transferred the first time the page loads.

Could provide a user config for amount of hiding, so that people could 
choose what tradeoff they want

In PIW phase seven or so we could even have user configs for "use/don't 
use JS hiding"... ;-)
