Setting $|=1; will turn off buffering and send output to the client as soon
as it is availible. That's usually helpful for longer scripts.

If you page as a lot of embedded tables ( or tables in general ), Netscape
does not render the page until it sees the proper </table> mark. IE starts
rendering the page as it recieves information and adjusts cells, rows it
recieves more data. Perhaps this is what you are referring to. Two sites to
test this on might be slashdot.org and msn.com as both use rather complex
layouts.
