If I refresh the log page (seen with Google Chrome 10.0.648.205 and
Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 x64, page served by 'hg serve'), there's a
flicker: the age column entries are briefly shown as full dates and then
they switch to the (expected) age values. The other columns are moved to
the right and then jump back to the left.

Interestingly, IE9 (9.0.8112) doesn't show that flicker.
