The sign-on screen is 23K of HTML. That just won't cut it. An HTML stream that's 20 times bigger than its corresponding 5250 stream will eat your server's CPU and clog your bandwidth. So my suggestion would be to have the server output something more like a 5250 data stream, and have a light-weight JavaScript client convert it to DOM elements at runtime.

The demo server is not answering now (run out of handles/connections) so I cannot verify. I am pretty certain, however, that a suitable use of CSS will help quite a bit.

I strongly applaud your attitude though - it is very rarely that a web developer seems to think twice about sending a 20Kb file :)
