Yes, this would be a good solution in general. You are meaning
something similar to the way gmail loads, and if it takes longer than
usual it tells you?
We have users on networks that sometimes can take many minutes to load
the site (they are used to this on all sites) so this may cause issues
there though.

Ok, makes sense.

Ahh. I just checked and the current linker we are using is the old
IFrame linker from 1.5.3 as you suspected.
Am I going to have to upgrade (we are currently on 1.5) to try this
linker?

I'd love to upgrade asap, but can't really before things stabilize as
we release daily at the moment to production sites.
Any idea when things are going to stabilize for an RC?

Two separate firewalls. I am not sure if they use the same one or not,
but I can try and find out.
