If it has a performance impact, we have not noticed it.  There are
some browser issues, for example, with Netscape 3 on a framed site.
My theory is that Netscape's gzip decompression routine has issues
when multiple frames are being decompressed and rendered
simultaneously.  Most of the time a frameset page will display
correctly, but occassionally it will goof and crash the browser or
render a blank page.

There may also be issues with certain version of MSIE for the Mac.
Once in a blue moon a Mac user will tell us they cannot use our site,
and they all report the same details.  But we have staff that uses our
site all the time with a Mac and doesn't have problems, so I believe
it is only specific versions that have trouble.  Disabling gzip
compression for MSIE Mac users seemed to help some users, but did not
make things work 100%, so it very well could be frame related.
