Both possibly. The page is about 200k, so not massive but not small by any means. I've removed some of this by taking out some small gifs, to see if that makes a difference. But I think the main bottleneck is running over the records and outputting them. Rather like a large CFDUMP can slow the page right down.
Problem is, they _like_ this page. A lot. So my words just aren't getting through right now. Maybe I'll cc them on the Fusion reactor alerts and see if that changes their minds!

Have you measured what is taking the time? I.e. is it the server serving up the page data or the client downloading the data to the browswer (or both)? If it is a very heavy page for the user to download then screw whatever SEO benefits there might be - the situation is only going to get worse over time and the page is going to be pretty unusable even once loaded (no one wants to scroll down for ever to find what they're looking for). Im preaching to the converted though I'm sure ;) If they're being stubborn, ask them to find competitors' websites / modern popular sites in general that DON'T paginate their indexes. Not very many I expect!
