RE: TextArea too slow
The real bottleneck are the emoticons. Try to add "width" and "height" tags to them. It will reduce the loadingtime (in that case the browser doesn't need to look up the actual width and height of each image and adjust the page accordingly).
Another trick is to use an imagemap for the left panel with the emoticons. So you'll get only 1 image instead of 25 to be loaded. Drawback: you need to define the area's (although this is easly done with an imagemap editor), the emoticons can't be animated and you can't quickly replace an icon with another one whenever you need to...
