Well, first I'd like to thank you for participating in this discussion. To answer Jonathan, you may be right, I am (or was ?) doing modular exponentiations with large numbers. I found out how to slightly improve efficiency, which means my script is a bit faster, a good thing for time-based popups (Firefox/Chrome (?) ..). But IE uses number of statements executed to know when to display the warning. And I'm not sure I'll be able to split my function so it requires less than 5 million instructions :/ (unless taking it from scratch, ahaha).
