version 4 performance

I'm revising our web site for 2003, and I plan to fully implement the version 4 beta. I will upgrade as soon as future versions become available.

Here is the work-in-progress URL:
(functionality bound to fluctuate)
http://209.123.24.26/

The work at the above URL will shortly replace the following site:
http://www.ok4wd.com/

Currently, the table is generated using ASP script that modifies the menu structure JS file directly via the file system. The menu will only be synchronized as items are added or removed from our MySQL driven web site. As far as the end user is concerned, the menu structure is static.

I know we could improve the load time by omitting all of the vendor logo images, but we really like the appearance of the logos in that list, so we are willing to compromise as long as the apparent performance loss is minimal.

I welcome any suggestions that might help me optimize, or streamline the performance of my Milonic DHTML Menu.
