That looks really strange.

I'd understand gaps in the HTML part, then i'd guess "Net.Data", but not in
the CSS-part of the page.

What are you using to create the page, Joel? Any special logic while
creating the CSS-part?

The performance was very bad for the first request; now, after some time, i
have good times (no clock, just me measuring) here in Austria (Europe).

Excuse me adding a thing:
When you refer to the W3C, wouldn't it be a good idea to have W3C-compliant
code?
Look:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vamanet.com%2Fcgi-bin%2FABOUT&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=

When you're compliant, you can proudly add another nice looking logo to
your page!
Separating the css from the page into a file of its own makes it easy to
check that for conformity, too. (antoher logo :-)

By the way: checking your page is quite a good way to measure the time. You
may divide the time by 2, as the stuff is sent to the W3C and then back to
you.
