Load header before the rest of the page

I've noticed that more and more it becomes annoying to wait for long threads to load. As I scroll down the page keeps bumping me up and down while it loads. What I would prefer is a system where the header loads and the rest of the page loads in the background. When the page has finished loading, the entire thing loads loads up. My description is probably confusing, but here is an example: http://freshmeat.net/

This might not really be a code hack, but I think it's javascript that could be implemented into the header. I'm hoping one of you could figure out a way to implement this.

well, you could probably accomplish that by just making the thread show up in one big table.

Even when a thread is one table, it still loads piece by piece. I just think it looks more professional when it is done the way freshmeat has it. One other benefit is that while the user waits for the page to load in the background, all they have to look at is the banner at the top of the screen.

I tried looking at the source from the freshmeat site, but couldn't determine what exactly caused the effect I previously described.
