Slava, >>Depending on the number of child nodes the removeChild method gets really slow.<<
I may be misreading your problem, but i find the following code works well to clear out *many* child nodes... while((c = editLayer.firstChild)!=null) editLayer.removeChild(c); IIRC, Peter Sorotokin suggests this as the most efficient method. If this is not the answer you are looking, some code snippets would be great.
