I find them to be rare. Seems mostly to do with IMG's. I have several
identical-format JPG's on one HTML page that I coded and certain ones
always display distorted. Just something about those particular pix that
trips up the processor *in my installation*. Maybe the same for pages as
a whole?

The slippery slope?

xSwap is all about mem allocation. My A166 is wholly installed on RD.
So why do I get very slight clicks from the HDD near the start of
processing large, complex pages? Before final rendering, that is. At
first I thought something was working the memory management software...
Could it be that some other part of DOS is allocating small ammounts of
memory, and that Arachne is unaware of this?
But I'm over my head here <g>
One final-- I hope that this project fully explores and optimizes this
programming approach before moving on. I think that is closely related
to efficiency.
