As am I

As you can see from the code example I posted earlier, the HTML table is =
broken down into sub-tables which render very quickly (at least under =
Netscape) compared to a huge table with the same data.

The code was:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-var "ZopeTime()">

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('count', 0)">

<TABLE>
<dtml-in allorders>
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('count', count+1)">
<dtml-if "count>100">
</TABLE><TABLE>
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('count', 0)">
</dtml-if>
<TR><TD><dtml-var itemno></TD><TD><dtml-var desc></TD><TD><dtml-var
datelastmn></TD></TR>
</dtml-in>
</TABLE>
<dtml-var "ZopeTime()">
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
