Yes, a Netscape bug - I've experienced this. If no-one objects I'll split up 
the FAQ into smaller pages, which should make the speed acceptable.

It's as simple as that: you should not nest more than three tables with
Netscape. The nesting depth has much more influence on performance than
the number of rows or cells. So the best thing is to have just one table
and organize the rest into rows and cells.

I expirienced that Netscape is very slow in rendering tables, particularly if
they are nested (FAQ has a lot). Maybe replacing some of the tables by
definition lists or (un)ordered lists would speed it up though.
