My apologies if this has been addressed recently (I remember there being
some thread about CSS, but I don't remember the scope of what it covered.)

I've been having problems as I convert to using style sheets instead of
font tags, etc. Whenever I use a table, Netscape seems to slow *way* the
heck down when it loads the page, if I have a style attribute in the <td>
parts of the table. IE seems to be fine with the page, and Netscape *will*
load, it but much much slower.

Does anyone know why this is?  (Two of the experiences I've had are given
below)

At first I thought it was a javascript issue, (with the 2nd of the below
two), because it uses it heavily. But, the other example doesn't use it for
anything in the table. That's when I realized it was a CSS thing. When I
take out the style tags, the table loads fine.
