Well in that case the alternative solution I described could be tried.
Instead of iterating through the entities calling show() and hide(),
iterate and build (carefully) a CSS block that includes CSS statements
for each entity, giving it a style of either "{ display: block; }" or
"{display: hidden; }". When the CSS is built, drop it into a waiting
<style> element on the page.
