After 60 seconds on an 8mb Cable line, and being asked twice if I wanted
to cancel the script, I canceled it. The sound on there is annoying though.

What you might want to do, for testing, is to make a "dummy" copy of it
and add a timer to the page to tell any potential user/tester how long
it took to load the page.

Set a variable to a new Date() at the very beginning of the page, then
after the last script has executed, and the page is "ready", take a
second new Date() and compare them. Then insert it in the page to tell
the user "This page took: ### time to download and be ready". It would
keep people from having to guess at how long it took because they aren't
sure it is finished loading yet.
