    Re: hey ms windows folks —Steve Bliss
   (...) I downloaded it, fired off a few pages into it. It looks ok, but I haven't exactly tested it *rigorously*. I was a bit disappointed about the load-time. The whole push for this thing (reading the website lit) is the lightweightedness of it. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) Like how long of a load time? Mozilla seems to take long (15 seconds?) to load the first time I run it (per user) after building, but then takes 4-6 seconds. Perhaps K-Meleon has this property too. (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

     I just tried a Mozilla nightly (not K-meleon, which doesn't currently work with Win95) on my PPro 180 system (the Linux numbers were from my PIII 450 at work) and it took 12 seconds to load. (Communicator 4.75 takes 4.) If K-meleon isn't much better (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) Dunno. Don't have NS installed, currently. If I remember, I'll snarf it and check. Steve (24 years ago, 28-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
