Has anyone else noticed netscape 3.0 runs significantly slower than
2.0??  I don't think it's my imagination!  I've only had 3.0 for a
couple of weeks and when I look up regular web pages I'm sure it
takes longer to load now than it used to.

And the great pauses for minutes on end (while it does it's garbage
collection?) have got longer too.  Time to revert to 2.0 I think.

Maybe 3.0 is a lot more demanding on memory?
I've got 8Mb + 16 Mb swap, 1.2.13 kernel, Xfree86 3.1.2 (i think?).

Dave.
