A design goal of the new interface was to reduce the clutter of those 
little boxes, by having them collapsed by default.

But they need to be expanded if you don't have JavaScript enabled, 
because otherwise you wouldn't be able to expand them and access their 
contents at all.

Therefore they are expanded initially, and when the page finishes 
loading, JavaScript collapses them. Because the new design uses so many 
graphics and is still served over HTTPS, this can take a while.

If you have a suggestion on how we can eliminate or reduce this 
flashing, I'd be delighted to read it. :-)

As for that particular box, I will remove it shortly, because the new 
design for "person pages" (e.g. /~jjesse) makes it obsolete.

Cheers
