First, "loading" means all the code has been received by the browser,
"rendering" means the browser is doing its own internal processing of
the content to make it visible to the user.

Too many levels of nested tables makes for long *rendering* times in 
Netscape 4x, especially on Solaris (and I suspect other Unix variants).

Just make sure you *need* that nesting, that you can't accomplish the
same thing with divs and other HTML4/CSS constructs. I was able to 
rework a heavily nested page -- taking ~15 seconds to render -- and
get it down to about 4 seconds that way.

YMMV!
