Thanks - I gave this a whirl. It seems to have some problems with
Apache virtual servers (it always pulls down the default server,
completely ignoring the virtual), which limited my options somewhat,
but I still managed some results. It does seem that there's a
negligible difference between table based layout rendering and CSS
based layout. So negligible that it's not worth pursuing any further
really, although it would have been interesting to compare IE and
Gecko rendering times. Unsurprisingly, it's the images that really add
to the perceived render time, but that's a download issue, not a
rendering one.
