Besides buffering and image preload issues, Netscape also tends not to begin
displaying a table until it has received the whole thing. Thre reason is that it
does not know how to lay out the column widths until it has received the very last
row. General approaches to dealing with this include:
* Break your table into multiple smaller tables. Possible down side:
the column alignments in the smaller tables will not necessarily line
up with each other.
* Modify your user interface approach so that you present a large
table in a series of pages, with "next" and "previous" buttons, as
you normally see in search engine responses. That way, any given
page will display much more quickly.
