You can turn off the big animation in the upper left-hand corner
(check the ibrowse preferences). You can change the MUI "active"
animation to something less CPU intensive.

IBrowse is the only Amiga browse that lets me make effective use of a
1024x768 screen without going to incredibly long lines or large fonts.
Turn off the animation, move the fastlinks & command buttons to the
side (I put one set on either side), and the vertical real estate used
for is pretty minimal - one line for URL, and one line for messages
(hmm; I want to try moving other parts of the display around, but need
a valid copy to try it - I'm not going to backdate my system for
this). The fastlink and control buttons wind up in the horizontal
space, which is not a rare commodity on that screen.
