I've now upgraded to the latest snapshot:
ntop v.2.0.99 MT (SSL) [i686-pc-linux-gnu] (06/15/02 07:24:02 PM build)

The problem with the webpage appearing text-only or not at all
seems to be gone now. But the other two problems still remain:

Actually the new version uses up even more CPU power. In fact
it takes up to 55% of CPU thus slowing down ftp remarkably.
(Didn't use the -A switch for the new version of course)

Another minor remark about the current snapshot:
There's a small mistake in the documentation for the -S switch:
the --help info says:
[-S <number>    | --store-mode <number>]              Persistent storage mode [0-none, 
1-local, 2-all]
as opposed to man ntop:
 Valid values are: 0 = don't store hosts, 1 = store all hosts, 2 = store only local 
hosts.
