Pentium 233Mhz - all of them equipped with 64-96MB RAM, and Mozilla is WAY slower then Explorer - I could give you lots of examples. FUD again..!

You mean starting up mozilla right? Then your right, cause internet explorer is allways running! So it dosent take long time to open another browser window since its allready in memory... IE is so heavily integreated into the OS, so its allways running.....

Which slows Windows by using up all its memory and forcing paging VM - AAAAAAARGHGHHHHHHHH!

With IE, you are forced to have it in memory... Actually mozilla eats up less memory than IE does... And dosent make the computer slow unless you sit there with a pc with 128MB or less.... When it is actually in mem, it starts up in less than a sec... And its much faster to browse with also, even on my k6 450....

And if you also take in mind that amigaOS is way less memory hog than windows, linux and such, it should fly even with as little as 64-128mb...

Hi mikeymike...the problem with Opera is that we and you have to pay for upgrades...

R&B :-)

Opera can we just forget, since its a closed source and they are not willing to port it to AmigaOS, MorphOS cause they dont see any profits in the small userbase...

And for those who bitch about mozilla being slow, try downloading the newer versions.... It was true that the old versions was damn slow.... Try for example mozillafirebird..

Here its much faster than IE on both windows and linux.

Thats odd... i havent had a single problem with mozilla.. Except for when visiting a site which is designed for IE only.... Then none browsers except for IE will work properly..

yeah opera is great.. by far the fastest browser i have tried... but sadly its not open source, so there is no possibility to port it to AmigaOS  :-(

Right now i am running KDE+mozilla in remote window using Xmanager client.. The server is a amd k6/2 450mhz, 64MB of ram running debian 3.0 over a 100mbit network.. How come its still faster than IE here?? I am even using mozilla 1.0.0....
:-D  :-P  :-P


You people who complain about the speed, must have really poorly configured systems...
