I was among the 1st sending congrats to Michael on how much better
Arachne seemed to be handling tables and frames and such in 1.64 ...

And then I hit a couple of pages where the new way things are handled
[much done in background, little else visible] is enough to drive me
bonkers.

For instance, one page uses a number of small graphics [more than should
be allowed on any single page!] and each and every file is the same
size, so it appears as if Arachne is in a loop getting nowhere, and
rapidly.

Food for thought ... 

When it comes to frames, at least, can Arachne be told to write each
frame to screen as it is completed?  That would, in many cases, allow
access to the menu before the balance of the "main frame" [urg... IBM
will get me for that] is rendered, and not leave the user helplessly
watching precisely nothing except writing on the bottom of the screen
change.

l.d.
