Normally, white is a modern browser's default background color. Earlier
ones used grey, as I recall, old Netscapes, old IEs. In my most-used
browsers, I always set something different, so I can see when authors
forget to assign a background color. It makes for some interesting
viewing.

IE6 was white, as I recall.

If there is a delay that is truly caused by using PHP, you must be
coding something odd, or it is your web server's fault. Mine all have no
delay whatsoever, in any browser.
