Right-on.  And different browsers behave differently.  IBM WebFacing
will only work properly with Internet Explorer though, so your users
will have to live with IE's quirks.

Please be aware that this start-to-finish delivery time is not only
dependent upon the browser, but also on the client PC!  WebFacing can
produce some large page sizes depending on the original DDS it had to
work with.  I've found that older PC's can literally add two seconds a
page to the rendering time.  Older = Pentium II, 450MHz, 128Mb RAM.

Yes Mike, we still have those antiques.
