Another thing we did once is have a little row of bubbles to indicate loading, one bubble per resource. They turned green as the resource loaded (or other colors depending on the state of that resource), and new bubbles were added to the row as new resources were discovered/requested. The only real problem with that was that some pages have hundreds of resources, and the display would turn into a crowded jumble...

I don't work on OmniWeb these days, but I remember a lot of things we tried and discarded :)
