I run Arachne in OS/2 Warp 3 and 4.  Did a 4 browser test for download speeds.
Arachne was only slightly slower than the fastest, Netscape was slower.  If
you get slow download speeds, something is not set right.  I have dos settings
for Arachne available if anyone wants to try it on OS/2.

For general speed running Arachne completely in a ramdisk will be the fastest
whether in dos or os/2.  I have the temp and cache running in a ramdisk with 
a HPFS file system drive. HPFS is noticably faster than FAT.
