Hello, Hans;
I seem to have missed your post and am quoting from Michael Dawley's reply.
There was no noticeable speed difference between 1.50s.r.c. and 1.50b2.
My posts of Jan 21, 22 compared 1.60b1 with 1.50b2, Opera and a very fast
version of Netscape, 2.02.
In all cases, except for local operations such as refresh and page up/dn,
Arachne 1.60b1 was measurably, but not dramatically, faster. If you were
to compare 1.60b1 with Netscape 4+ THEN you could say it is dramatically
faster. <G>
On local operations, 1.60b1 is measureably slower than 1.50b2 and MUCH slower
than Netscape 2.02.
If you want the details, just ask. I don't want to bore everyone by re-posting.
