	Less then 30 secs for my homepage to turn up (28.8k/PPP). Because 
only 5 graphics were used (I am considering changing them to JPEG for 
compression) on the Treasure Chest Project page, 4 of them <2k, it should 
not take more then another 20 secs.

	I do not use those super-duper QuickTime, Music or super-high 
Java-scripting languages and applets. I know that normal home-user like 
you or me, do not enjoy loading those pages as it takes so long to load.

	Since someone has not a problem using Lynx 2.6, but I will 
consider moving those frames out. I will go check it out again tomorrow.
