Are we going to get to have the BMs with new messages to appear(as in the old version) before the whole page loads?

Ah! I think I see the problem. I don't have many subjects bookmarked, so it doesn't make a difference on my system, but those who have hundreds of bookmarks would be in a different situation.

In the beta, the entire list of topics is put into a single table. Most browsers will render the table only when they've collected the data for all the elements. In the old SI, the topics with new messages are rendered in a separate table which means it is (on most browsers) displayed before the other messages.

Seems an easy fix for them. I think it would still look the same if the table for topics with new messages was closed and a new one started for the others.
