.class is fairly good
# ID is very poor
I remember being able to set left and width so, depending on the information
that may work.
I haven't worked with NS 4.7x for a long time and I don't have a copy with
me to test it out.
I have some problems (IIS crashed) that has trashed my development box for
the last few days. If you still have problems in a copy days post again and
I'll give it a more thorough look-see.

CFFLUSH won't help much... Netscape's OLD rendering engine used by the
4.7x and prior browsers simply will not render a table until the full
table has been received. And if it's a table within a table, it won't
render until the OUTER table has been completely received.
In the old days when I was building a lot of "community" web sites for
newspapers and such using the technology provided by the now bankrupt
dot com that I worked for (koz.com), it got really obnoxious because
we'd built templates using tables that wrapped the entire site.. so
NOTHING would load until the whole page had loaded.
We actually coined a term "VLT" = Vertically Loading Template, in which
we separated the header table from the table that held the body and
left/right branding areas. At least the top part would load
immediately, which meant the BANNER ADS would load immediately =) You
know, banners ads, those things that were supposed to make everyone
billions back in 1999.
I'm not sure there's much you can do to speed up the rendering on a
Netscape 4.7 browser unless you actually split the table... ie, load 100
rows, then end the table and start again... but if you did that you
might still consider CFFLUSHING the data... dunno, here's the docs for
that tag:

For what it's worth, newer versions of Netscape do NOT have this problem.
Good luck!
