I must have a slow "brain connection", because something about the above just hit me: how fast a page renders has nothing to do with the speed of your internet connection, but rather the speed of your computer. You would *download* the files faster or slower depending on your connection, but they only start rendering once they actually reach your computer, of course -- and, hence, it's the speed of your computer that would be the relevant factor.
In that regard, I still don't know how important a factor it is for CSS pages to render 1/3 faster than table layouts, even on a slow(er) computer -- it would have to be an extremely, extremely complex page, I would think, for it to be any difference greater than negligible. Ron :) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It's ~both~ how quickly your computer can process the page and how quickly your computer can download the page; however, it's mostly how quickly you can download a page because the processing load of a single web page, no matter how complex, is very, very small. Think of how quickly an HTML page displays when you view it locally versus online. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
