Nice work it feels faster, amigaworld loads about 10 seconds so that I can scroll window, but it seems that if I try scroll it locks my amiga time to time for quite long time 10-15 seconds, even when page is completely loaded.

Amiga.org doesn't load completely or page layout is corrupted and it allso locks my amiga totally.

After amigaworld is loaded I've 29mb free memory, after amiga os is loaded I've 53mb free memory, total memory is 64mb.

Previous version was more usable, amiga.org worked 100% and it didn't lock computer that bad

ive got an A1200 with 030/50 Blizzard board and as CV64/3D, will that be good enough?

[whabang]

Awesome! Will try this tomorrow.

EDIT: Previous versions were somewhat slow, even under WinUAE on a fairly fast PC. I would recomend sticking to Aweb if you are using 030.

Not if your wanna view pages which has css.

You have add wrong ixemul.library to your libs folder.Its a version for poolmem.The poolmem version you should not release because it cause on netsurf slowdown after longer use due to mem fragmentations.The poolmem version is only need for developing, because here can AOS memtracker tools use to see Bugs immidiatly.

I recommend all user to use the older ixemul for better speed, or better delete the file in netsurf/libs dir.the poolmem ixemul give a message out in sashimi ixemul for poolmem used.

also maybe artur can change the installer so it ask if ixemul should instal or not.
I think its no good idea to install library all the time.

a release of ixemul V63.1 come soon, (diego need upload it)its need because ffplay Team have use for better timing usleep.And this work not good on all older ixemul (do also hangs), i replace the code with the AOS hires timer and increase libnum so user

Here is also a link to the development plan, as stand here, netsurf should speedup more when libdom come

The latest version works really great. I am just writing this on Netsurf in WinUAE.
* The proxy-problem has been solved, so Netsurf can now really be used in a company network where a company proxy is required. (former releases failed on most pages with "base stylesheet failed to load" ow its working great!
* I use ixemul.library 62.1 as suggested by Bernd (the newer debug version slowed the system down a lot)

Thanks to the Netsurf team for this great development, thank Artur for your prting effort.

Artur, could yu add an Amiga version string to the executable?

regards selco

I do some tests, the problem due to much fetchers it get slower, i see not without JIT
maybe some user can test on classic machine if this changes on options file run faster.

min_reflow_period:300
max_fetchers:8

[utri007]

What was a file were these are?

min_reflow_period:300
max_fetchers:8

[edit] I found it. What was original values? What kind of testing you want me to do?

I would say I doens't feel faster.

I've one wish, it is cosmetical would it be possible to do so that when I click link or type new addres, netsurf window would turn black immediately? Just like when it started? Now I can see google page about 25-30 seconds before nothing happen.
