Unusual loading time required under Netscape

Unusual loading time required under Netscape
Links has been peforming perfectly on my site until recently users reported that the index.html(http://cebr.ust.hk/guide) page takes an usual amount of time to finish loading under Netscape 4.7 (but not under IE). After it has finished loading, part of the background color changes into red.
I believe that there is problem either on my site_html.pl or links.css. I have put them to http://cebr.ust.hk/site_html.pl.txt and http://cebr.ust.hk/links.css.txt. Though I cannot rule out problems from other parts. I should be grateful to any one who can help me. Thx in advance.

The problem's with Netscape:

Safe to use

CSS 1 (NOT CSS 2) color
Background-color and background-image on BODY
Font properties
Margins on BODY


Unsafe or won't work

Every other property. (see link below).

Units

Do not use ever:
ems
exes
pt
pc
cm
mm
in
px (use with impunity)
% (check out the site below first)


Check out http://www.richinstyle.com/bugs/netscape4.html for more information. This site also has a viewable by any browser style sheet.

Netscape will also have problems if you omit any closing tags.
