Another way to do that would be to use frames. One "title" frame to
bring back static HTML (quickly) and the second frame to handle the
results of the cgi call, which wouldn't have to be acgi at that point.

Obviously, you have to use frames, which may be a problem for some,
but it does work nicely.

Hope that helps,
