For me, the big problem is that Netscape freezes when it has to reformat a large table. It goes like this: Thread begins to load. Download of all data. All data for the page is now downloaded. Netscape begins to reformat the page which contains one large table. All instances of Netscape windows running on that machine freeze during this reformat. Cannot do anything with any Netscape window for 5-15 seconds depending on size of table- not even move or repaint. Note that this is AFTER all the data is downloaded.

IE, on the other hand, displays the large tables almost instantly and remains responsive the whole time. There are other unrelated problems with IE that prevent me from using it, though.
