Loading stuff in frames or iframes does take time, a problem especially
if other frames rely on the loaded information. I got round this sort of
problem by having the onLoad event of the slow-loading frame set a flag.
You can use a timer event elsewhere to pick this up. Unfortunately you
need to do this in a loop as JS doesn't give you the proper tools, but
at least you can avoid running the CPU at 100% by not simply spinning on
the flag.
