Interesting tip.

The flashing bar in the bottom right hand corner tells you there is a transfer,
so the anim can be safely turned off.(mine is and I think it improves speed.)

Getting setpatch 40.16 off aminet helps as does increasing the ibrowse memory
cache.

A suggestion was made in the Ibrowse mailing list to increase Stack to 150000,
which apparently stops lockups. (you do this by editing the icon using 
information. (I have not tried this).

Recently there have been crashes on pages using the scrolling command.

My ibrowse is in 16 colours on a 9 meg, 68020 a500, 4 connections.

I have aslo freed up chip ram by using a program called Happyenv, also on
aminet.
