Yes.. but it would have to be a single document.write after all code has
completed. As the page wouldn't be rendered untill the thread which executed
the write method has completed. So.. only on loading of a page would this
actually increase performance for IE. And even then, writing directly to the
innerHTML would be faster, speaking strictly IE.

In Netscape, the adding Layers is definitly preferred.
