In any way which users actually care about? I've yet to see a CSS site
which would really impact the users by using tables.

Sorry paul, that doesn't hold up as an argument "Some people say
it's better, so it must be!"

If there is a speed difference, it's not significant compared with other
factors such as speed of machine and connection. Most users blame
the site/their connection if the page downloads slowly.
