There are two possible causes:

1) Because you specify that the page should not be cached, the browser has
to reload the images constantly. Preventing the caching of data must be
managed carefully, and most of the time you shouldn't do it.
2) Your implementation involves a lot of string operations and these are
usually quite slow.

I've produced my own implementation that doesn't display any artifacts on
my machine. I've commented parts of the HTML showing what I removed (the
page is Strict HTML with no tables). I also allowed the clock to operate
in 12- and 24-hour modes (24 is the default).

Hope that helps,
