Help everybody!!! Did anyone of you DNN user ever verified some skins dramatically slow down DNN? The skin I'm talking about has practically no images, but is css based (I mean I'm not using TABLES for the general layout of the pages, but DIVS, either floated or relatively positioned ). My site works acceptably well (fast) with default dnn-blue skin, but slows down intolerably with this new skin.

Someone has suggestions? Some of my collegues  are now of the opinion that DNN works well (meaning at an acceptable speed) only with table based layout. If that's the case I'm sorry I must say I'm really disappointed. Pleas tell me it's not like that!

Sorry, it's a lan based application, Web UI based on DNN

This is the skin 

<div id="pagePlaceHolder">
        <div id="pageWrapper">
            <div id="header">
                <div id="mainMenu">
                 [CONTENTPANE:3]                  
                </div>
                <img  alt="Keypass-the power of business" id="logoKey" src="images/logo_key.gif" />
                <div id="subHeader">
                    <div id="extendedMenu">[SOLPARTMENU]</div><div id="logon">[KP_MULTILANGUAGE]&nbsp;[LOGIN]</div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div id="ContentWrapper">
                <div id="leftColumn">
                    &nbsp;
                    [CONTENTPANE:1]
                </div>
                <div id="mainContent">
                    [CONTENTPANE]
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Really simple I'd say

And this is the correspondin css:

Thanks for the replay anyway

Sometime it takes more, sometimes less, but the general impression is every page viewed with this skin is slower than the same page with the default skin.
