Another thing to consider are the nested tables used to display the admin
pages. Tables will wait for all the information in them before displaying.
This often results in the page timing out before finished in various parts
of FreeTrade. I plan on removing all the tables from my own installations
once I have some time. Replacing tables with CSS in admin areas is a no
brainer since you do not have to worry about browser compatibility's. It is
much easier to require a client to use a version 5+ browser for admin than
to try to force customers to use one.
