Niklas, > No good, since <meta> starts counting when page is first opened, so
Don't think this is applicable - When is the page "opened": after the script reaches the <meta>, or after the script concludes and the web server sends the page to the browser? If the latter, then the speed of the connection affects the browser wait until the page is (temporarily) displayed, but not the period of display. Yes if the page being temporarily displayed is bloated, then the redirect-time period must be chosen with due care. Ultimately it seems way too complicated, but you could use PHP output buffering. By then I think the JavaScript alternative will sound far more attractive...
