But IMHO, there are some arguments for the opposite: If the page is already received (at least partially) there is very big probability that the CSS files (if they are on the same web site) will be delivered successfully and approximately in the same time range. If this time is small enough, why not to wait a little in order to get better user experience (not flickering pages). There is some network performance limit, where rendering the page twice will be slower than waiting for the CSS files and rendering once. As long as with the time the network performance increases and with the Dillo supporting more and more HTML features, the rendering speed is expected to decrease, then this wait for the CSS files probably will be implemented one day. This way IMHO, some more complex logic (and probably some heuristics) could improve the overall performance. At least, this feature deserves dillorc option. :) > I'd like to look at it but currently work on a resize/redraw bugs fills > my time. > Take your time! You are doing great work in all cases.
