Large html pages and slow load times/high CPU usage

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I have problem with my program that I am wondering if a work-around 
exists for.

   I am stress-testing my backup program now and I've noticed that with 
a sample partition with ~26,000 directories when they are all set to be 
displayed it creates a ~1.5MB html file. I am running the program on the 
same machine that the browser is running on so bandwidth shouldn't be 
the issue (it's all via 'localhost:853').

   When I send the output to a text file (the log) instead of the the 
browser the page "loads" in a few seconds. This should mean then that 
the code itself is not the source of the bottle neck. When I send the 
output to the browser though Mozilla jumps to 100% CPU usage and it take 
a very long time (minutes) to load the same data.

   Is the browser taking time because of the render time (each directory 
creates a cell in a table)? Is it latency somewhere else (TCP/IP)? Any 
hints/tips would be great!

Madison
