If you put a header(Location: gohere) at the top of the page, shouldn't the server redirect you to the new page automatically rather than the browser? If the browser is doing the redirecting, then it's going to slow down a WAP handset because it would need to connect and load one page, then reconnect and load the page it was rediredted to.
