Maybe I am a bit slow today but I don't see any coherence
between a couple of small image files and a performance
penalty (if there is such a thing).

Have you checked the render times by using a local version
of the web page? You may save the web page with mozilla and
load it again afterwards.

I think this can be hardly avoided with gecko. Netscape4.x
starts render the table if it got all image and text
information this avoids the layout change you described but
displays nothing until all contents have been loaded. Gecko
starts rendering even it has not all information.
