You may want to take a look at Netscape 4,79. They say they have better support for nested tables. I have not verified myself, but here is a snippet from the release notes:
From: http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/4.7/relnotes/windows-4.79.html#whatnew What's New in This Release (4.79) ... Performance improvements when accessing pages with nested tables and style sheets. ... Hope this is of some help!

If you are using tabs use jetspeed-tab-vm file on <jetspeed-home>/WEB-INF/templates/vm/controls/ If not try to modify the file on <jetspeed-home>/WEB-INF/templates/vm/controls/ Try to eliminate as much nested tables as you can in those files. There is a jetspeed-tab-vm file below as an example. If you replace yours with this it should work.
