<Very low priority>
Not a bug. Just a speed issue.

I have tested this page on two low end machines only (Celeron 1300 and P3 500
with Firebird 0.7). The page was given to me by a Web Developer and I am
cleaning up his coding and linking it to a DB. Ignoring than the fact I don't
like the way they have designed/coded the page, the numerous use of
background-image seems to really bog Firebird down.

The page is XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant.
Though I must reiterate... the general HTML design is strange.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Page loads
2. Images load
3. DELAY before the background images on tables with background-image styles are
painted.

Actual Results:  
Page loads

Expected Results:  
Page loads
