Google inline module idea feeds the Page Load Hog

I have checked, double checked, and rechecked again, back and forth (loading, unloading), and I have concluded that - at least for digg - that coding the "inline module" way for Google's personal home page options is really dragging the page load for Google's Personal Home page.

Either the module can be recoded (so as not to cause thie slow load time - I am on a T1 leg off an OC12) or digg can decide not to use the module method.

For now I'll just stick to going to digg through RSS Reader or the like.

BUT, digg is the shiznickle in all other restecpa!

Now, bcak to the Google Personalized Homey Page: Live365 now offers their broadcasters a module for the Google PHG so they can montior the server status and the listeners on line! Cool, except that their modue does not hide the password in the block. Is there a way that programmers can take advantage of SSL for this sort of nonsense?

Call me Senior COBOL, or Master of Assembly, or even Mr. "Bean" but, I certainly hope there is an SSL way to enter passwords into a module for the Google PHG at some point.
