The newer HTML and XML stuff is really cool (not just "wow" cool but "well

I actually use it on my P75/32mb Libretto. It's not too bad -- main problem
is that X has already sucked up all of the RAM. I'm going to have to look at
Nanozilla and Nano-X....
Startup time is also really bad, but once it's running, it's very snappy.

You get used to it. There's not really any alternative, other than not
