This list covers pretty much the majority of all browsers. Seems like
Konqueror and Opera jumped on that train recently. So I'm fine with using
innerHTML.

Rendering isn't the problem here, as the browser has to render the tables
anyway, no matter how it was created.

The strange thing is that innerHTML should always be slower than
createElement() because the browser not only has to create the DOM node but
has to parse the HTML code before. It seems that at least some browser have
been optimized in a way that innerHTML is faster though.
