It should be plenty fast, but you'd have to benchmark it to be sure.
I noticed a couple of problems right away:
1) The code uses the same id= attribute on multiple elements. This needs to
be a class= instead.
2) It uses only half as many divs as it needs. The two-pixel stairstepping
is just a bit too visible. It should offset the divs by one pixel instead of
two for a smoother shadow.
