You've not tried it then. Mozilla for Windows running on my box on one processor runs faster than Mozilla in Linux running on both processors. (Win98SE). Application startup time is faster for Mozilla in Windows, as is runtime execution. Not measured or benchmarked mind you. It is visibly noticeable. If it were faster in Linux, I certainly wouldn't say it was faster in Windows. >Mozilla (GNU-Version) is still a bit slower than Netscape >Navigator 4.x, but that's an application problem, not a graphics >problem. Indeed. And in fairness to the Mozilla developers whom are doing a fantastic job of developing the browser, every version of Mozilla for Linux that I've upgraded to has been noticeably faster and less buggy. I've been using Mozilla as my primary browser now for almost 2 years if not longer. It has come a long way in a short time IMHO. I'm confident that the performance issues that remain, will get resolved all in due time. -- Mike A. Harris Shipping/mailing address: OS Systems Engineer 190 Pittsburgh Ave., Sault Ste.
