Perhaps I'm just slow today but I'm not exactly sure what you're 
proposing.  Could you elaborate a bit on this with some specifics?

Part of what confuses me is the reference to two DOM's.  There are three 
hierarchies (HtmlElement, Element, SimpleScriptable) but only one of 
them is a DOM.

I *do* use HtmlUnit for load testing and yes, there are performance 
problems although I suspect that these are due more to poor memory usage 
than anything else.   I get OutOfMemoryError's regularly when stress 
testing and this is a problem I've been trying to isolate.
