What sort of timeout are you experiencing? Your proxy is timing out?

The page takes single digit seconds to generate. I doubt the timeouts
have much to do with the page being generated dynamically.

A complete, uncached refresh takes about 6 seconds from request to
completion of rendering here, via a 33k6bps dialup and 10 network hops.

It's safe to assume that the dynamic building of the page is completed
well within the 6 seconds. Do you think saving a couple of seconds is
going to make much difference?

What are your network latency times like to the server?
