By Jove, you're right. If I disable javascript in Ibrowse2.3 it works rather well on eBay, even with just a 40MHz 68030. Trouble is, I have only 16MB of fastram, so I have to keep flushing cached images from memory to avoid a crash due to insufficient memory. MiamiSSLv2.11 seems to work fairly nippy as well.
