Well, this kind of rules out Flash, doesn't it?...  :-)

It's all an issue of audience.  If part of your audience is in this 
category, then a low-bandwith version of you site is in order.  But 
the TD issue is a rendering issue in the browser, not a download 
issue.

You really need to look at your site stats to see what users from 
different countries are using, and plan accordingly. (I would also 
imagine that it could open a nightmare of browser-OS testing).
