Details

When I view http://incoming.debian.org/, the first screen of links that represent the directory shows up very quickly. Then mozilla tries to fetch an icon for each of the hundreds of links and stick it into the page. This takes way too long (up to 30 seconds), and looks up mozilla while it does this. I don't know what is going on behind the scenes that would take this long, but a wild guess is that mozilla is rerendering the page everytime it attempts to stick on another icon, when it should only be rerendering it after all or a substansial number of the icons are loaded.
Confirming with latest nightly build.

I'm not sure exactly why, but this is no longer a problem for me- incoming.debian loads right up. aaronl, i'm going to close this bug, but if you feel that it is still a problem (and can find another testcase for it) please post here and I'll reopen.
