Not bad!  Haven't had a chance to play around with this for a while, I forgot what my settings were and just threw it on there, along with a copy of that guigfx.library it looks like it now needs.


  • 1st load of amiga.org 35 seconds, reload in 21 seconds
  • Wikipedia
  • CNN
  • Google News

Attached a few screenshots.

I do wish that the minimize gadget worked, lol.  ;)

After I took these screenshots I tried playing around with some of the preferences.  Nice that they work, I got a few visits from the guru but eventually was able to get it to open up on its own screen instead of of Workbench.  Very nice! :banana:

I don't know but it didn't help. There was tlsfmen.lha in aminet, wich is now deleted some reason. It was started from shell anytime according to the guide.

I use TLSFMem on all my Amiga's.  It was created by Chris Hodges up to version 1.6 then patched to 1.9 by Cosmos, AFAIR.  It was pulled when Chris yanked all the rest of his Amiga software, for whatever (@#*$%&(#*$%& reason.  :(  It is a fantastic program for reducing memory fragmentation, I can't say how it reacts with NetSurf, specifically, but for just general day-to-day Amiga tasks - it's always the very first thing in my Startup-Sequence.  PM me your email address if you'd like me to fwd you a copy.

HAH :D Then you can say how it reacted to Netsurf. You noticed "slow down effect" youself and you were running TLSF men all the time?

In that case, yes.  I haven't had nearly enough coffee yet, today.  What were we talking about again?  I just tried the newest version last night after being away from it for a couple months, it seemed to work well.  A big improvement.  :)

@utri007

I can fix it by removing it.  I didn't think there was an Iconify button anyway!


Aah! Don't do that! ;)

There definitely is a button (you can see it in all my screenshots) and it definitely doesn't work. Having a program open in full screen, on the Workbench screen, covering everything else, with no easy way to make it smaller... Sure would be nice if Iconify worked. ;)

Do you mean that you can't do this (see picture) ;)

Well sure I can.  Just with older versions (and their very slow redraw/refresh rate), clicking & dragging to resize the window took something like two minutes and would often lead to the program crashing entirely.

Just tested, it does work a bit better now.  ;)
