Got it, thanks.

The slow bits look like fetching, rendering and (possibly) clearing out the cache.
Try increasing the memory cache size, and setting the disc cache to 0.

I say "possibly", because I'm not entirely sure what NetSurf is doing between these two lines:

Preferences do work. One note, it is not actually preferences, but I can disable images, but I can't enable them back on.

I can't see anything wrong with that code.  All it does is check the state of the menus and then set the images options so they match.

You have spend some time with aga? It works/displays right again, but 4/5 times it goes unresbonsive before it it displays anything. This with my 68040/AGA

My RTG amiga has wrong colours, usually it is fixed with friend bitmap, but this time it doesn't have any effect.

I've only been testing with AGA, can't help with the wrong colours thing, I'm not set up anywhere to test it.  I'd hazard a guess it's to do with the endianness of the screenmode, I've not changed anything related to colours or friend bitmaps AFAIR.

What about TLSFMem, does it improve speed a little?

Bit off topic :
I reinstalled myt amiga some days ago. I can't remember did colors work after that or not. But I have a 15bit PC, 16BIT PC and 24bit PC screenmodes availlable. I'm using Picasso 96. Do I have setup problem or not, sorry my ignorance.

Netsurf starts and loads wellcome screen, but locks Computer after 10-15 seconds when trying to surf any other web address, if tlsfmem or tlsfmempool is running.

The PC modes are little-endian, so that may be the problem.  It's likely I have some code which is assuming the screen is big-endian.  Does text show up the correct colour?  I know for sure that uses pen allocation so I'd expect it to.  Bitmap plotting is somewhat more involved.

I had excatly same hardware and picasso96 earlier also. I wonder did I had 15bit RGB and 16bit RGB modes earlier. Need to figure out why they have disappeared. Any hints for that?

Really can't say anything about text color, at least colors are not obiviously wrong.

Tried the latest version. Seems the program calls the picture.datatype quite a few times. But it opens the font even more (hundreds and hundreds of times). Normally these should be loaded in memory just one time, or am i wrong !?!

It opens the font many times, but the OS will only load it from disk once (unless you're running out of memory and it has flushed it)

Checked this with snoopdos, it says Fonts:helvetica.font. Should it be just helvetica.font, if it is preloaded? Any way

On thing wich took a lots of time is Ramlib open ENV:Gadgets/select.prefs

Need to spend some more time with this.

Possibly.  Are you looking at Open, OpenDiskFont or OpenFont?

[utri007]

All font things on snoopdos are Open FONTS:helvetica.font  Read

I thought that I found some kind of pattern, but I'm not sure. First time when loading amiga.org there are only some ChangeDir, seems that number of them increases when going to forums and even more when going back to FrontPage.?  ChangeDir can take several tens of sceonds.

Weird thing was also that ramlib Load Libs:Gadgets/select.gadget, it should be Classes:Gadgets/select.gadget? Would it be because of netsurf?

I'll check if I'm calling the full path... Nope, just the filename, so diskfont isn't caching. It shouldn't be opening from disk all the time, only if the size is different (that will still be quite a lot of reads though).

Classes: is part of the Libs: assign.

I don't know what select.gadget is though!

I'm a curious what is changed this new version?

Is it so that aminet release link is wrong, it goes here, it says OS4 version : http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/amiga/

Typo, have fixed, thanks.

ChangeLog

Only the last few entries are relevant, so probably something like this:

* Don't try to look up mailto URLs in database, as they aren't stored.
   * Optimised HTML layout of floats.
   * Fixed HTML layout bug relating to position of floats.
   * Fixed bug when user toggled javascript_enabled setting during page load.
   * Slight optimisation of DOM node inserted handling.
   * Introduced 10s script execution timeout.
   * Used new LibCSS API to optimise handling of HTML presentational hints.
   * Removed logging during browser window resize.
   * Improved cache logging.
   * Fixed to avoid generating pseudo elements for HTML replaced elements.
   * Simplified status bar updating while fetching HTML contents.
   * Fixed bug in accounting of objects being used by HTML contents.
   * Stopped GIF animations for when GIF has no users.

Note that page processing is significantly quicker now.

The only thing I did on the frontend was re-enable tabs.  It isn't advisable to try to close them though.
Thee's a bug which stops NetSurf quitting properly under certain circumstances.  3.4r2 will fix that (grab it from the ntlworld link if you don't want to wait)

New typo All the downloads are gone in netsurf page.
