If you want a better explanation that Netscape (on MacOS at least) is a
bloated, tediously slow and crap browser then I'm afraid I don't have a
better explanation.  The LinuxPPC Faq-o-matic (about 700k) takes 1
minute 15 seconds to be displayed under MacOS on my 200MHz 603e and in
that time my machine is locked up, under Linux PPC the same file takes
15 seconds to display still with Netscape and the machine is still
responsive when it's loading it up.  Go figure as they say.
