It does display only the fully loaded elements for which the layout can be
computed but it postpones the layout of incomplete elements or those that
depend on others.

In a page with <BODY WIDTH="something_computable"> each paragraph is
displayed as it loads.

You may also notice that the intermediary layout is redone when the CSS
files finish loading. And there's a bug in there, CSS font sizes override
the minimum font size specified in preferencs.

I disagree. About 15s takes me to load a 360K HTML file generated from a
very wide XLS - so it's a table with many narrow columns (but still about 4
screenfulls wide) which take a while to display even on a more powerfull
computer.

I personally don't find it very disturbing.
