Arachne has until now been positively narcoleptic at _my_ fingertips.

All of a sudden, pauses during the downloading of page elements seem
to have disappeared. Woohoo!

I can now give my eyes a rest during the new blank screen phase.

A year ago, each new version seemed to require a new table-writing
technique. I had one heart-stopping moment just now, visiting an old
page online, but that was the only instance in this session where an
"R" refresh was called for, and which put things back the way I expected.

I'm not too keen on the lack of guidance in the custom TCP/IP setup -
a user might assume that the table of ports, IRQs etc indicated which
was linked to which, just by their proximity.

Anyway, at last this is getting to be fun, and not part of the World
Wide Wait.

I look forward to pitting her in a 100kB online dash against "Flo Jo"
Opera.
