Two (or was it three?) summers ago when I was finding 
a use for a laptop with no hard drive by running Arachne 
in a RAM-drive, I used huge Slashdot pages for testing.

>From my grey-matter RAM-drive I recall that on another 
machine with Win3.11, Internet Explorer 3 couldn't load 
the page while Opera3.60 was slower to render it though 
much faster to navigate the page. I settled on v1.64 of 
Arachne (having up to v1.69 available).

Arachne was also faster at loading pages with a single
large graphic.

The test machine was a 486dx25 with 12MB RAM, while the
HDD-less laptop was a 486dx4-100 with 8MB RAM, of which
I used 6MB for the RAM-drive for mainly "images off"
browsing. 

Best regards,

Jake Young
