This is a performance issue:

Does anyone have experience with the redrawing of the browser page
when you have updating dynamic data.... does IE redraw slower with
tables or is it better to use Div/Span tags... or a combination....
the CPU is running at 90% for the redraw...

IMHO use a combination of css and div/span to design web page. Use only
tables for tabular data e.g calendar, etc. Because the file size of
table designed web pages are much larger then css+div/span web pages, so
that table designed web pages are redraw much slower than div/span web
pages.

generally yes

if it is stuff thats supposed to be in a table then use a table with the
presentational goodies in css.

e.g. no masses of this icky poo stuff:

<td align="left">
<td align="left">
<td align="left">
<td align="left">
<td align="left">

just use: td{text-align:left;}

that must be one hell of a huge table
