The major problem in creating a web page in PI is that when you have a background, it doesn't generate it on the fly like a standard html page, it puts the entire background into the image and cuts it up into pieces when it generates the html. This makes it so much slower when loading the pages. you can see it load up piece at a time. You also cannot center a page using PI unless you manually edit the html and if you can't do that, you're sort of out of luck.

I've been playing around with sample pages to see how fast/slow they load. Feel free to see for yourself - none of the links work since these are "dummy" pages.

I find they all load slowly and I'm on DSL. I can't imagine what it would be like on dial-up.
