I'm just anxious to see the new design up :) I won't stand in Alexey's
way.

I took a brief look at the html. It looks like it has a lot of nested
tables. One of the things I was going to do is try to reduce the number
of nested tables to lighten the page. IIRC, Alexey is similarly driven
by lightweight xhmtl/css design, so I'm sure he'd do the same thing.
When I did this a while back (using the current markup), I was able to
reduce the page weight by at least 40% if memory serves.
