It's a couple of seconds here and a bit slower on Netscape.

I've pretty much concluded it's the font changes coupled with the
rendering. If I change all the links to text and all the other tags to

tags, the page comes up pretty fast.

I guess the algorithms used to expand the presentation space degrade on
pages this large.

Since you are seriously underpowered, I recommend you use what works until
you either get more CPU power or reorganize the pages into smaller chunks.
