The frames interface did have one thing going for it: you didn't have to wait for the whole thread to re-draw when you went to the next message.  On a modem connection, with a long thread, this can take like 10 or 15 seconds, which adds up after a while.

You're half right. The key is re-draw, not the modem. There's a negligibly small increase in data transferred with a long list of reponses (in threaded view). What takes longer is drawing lots more tables, which is directly impacted by hardware, browser, and OS speed.
