(Whiteboard: [Perf]) 

I was trying out viewer and apprunner at my c64 music page
( http://sid.genline.nu ) is has an very large indexfile.
The layout engine shows nasty graphicsbugs. I don't know why.
The rendering takes like 30seconds+ on my dual pII 400mhz which is s l o w.

It's not too surprising, because we haven't yet optimized for really large files
and this file is 880K.

Kipp, there are two problems. The first is a known problem, that we don't flush
the content sink until the outer-most UL (of which all the remaining content is
nested) is complete. That means nothing displays until the entire document has
loaded.

Once that problem is fixed, we can visit the second problem, which is that it
scrolls very very slowly.

Just verifying that this page still loads very slow and also scrolls very slow.
I am using a PentiumPro 200 with 64MB RAM running Win98 and i used the
latest NECKO build 1999080508...and it took 50+ seconds to load.
Well the gfx bugs are sure gone (has been 4 a while now).
I'm using build 1999091310.
The scrolling is much faster, but resize is still too slow.
Another bug i found out with this page is that the progressbar is "done" after
the html file (http://sid.genline.nu/index.html) containing the
frameset (<1Kb) is loaded, but the frame that contains the most data is still
loading.... Should i file a new bug on this one???

I only need one open bug for the large file reflow speed issue; please do file a
bug against the browser group about the progressbar issue. Thanks.
