Unbalanced text flashes to balanced text

I see the unbalanced text 'flash' to the balance text in a jarring way (takes like a split second). Would it be a good idea to modify the script, so that text is hidden first (or made transparent) and shows again after is has been balanced to avoid this jarring experience?

Start by reproducing the unbalanced-to-balanced text transition in the balance-text plugin on a web page, then inspect the script entry point responsible for balancing and rendering text. Done means the text does not visibly flash or appear jarringly before the balanced result is shown.
