           Summary: Safari displays blank page, ice caps melt, people
                    colonise mars, page loads
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: contact at nickshanks.com


Currently WebKit waits till it's loaded the page's CSS before displaying
anything. I often find, for unknown reasons (perhaps DNS related) and often at
times of high server load (e.g. breaking news story), that it can load a few
documents, the HTML, maybe some images, yet nothing is displayed. After a few
minutes of staring at a blank page with "Loading 5 of 31 items (2 errors)" in
the status bar it starts getting really tedious.

I suggest that, depending on the user's connection, a timeout period is set
whereafter safari just displays whatever it's got, regardless of CSS.

• 56k dialup: timout of 10 seconds
• 2Mbit or under: 5s
• above 2Mbit: 2s

The user's connection speed is available/set via QuickTime.
