As far as I know, Conkeror can only be as fast as XULRunner/Gecko lets it. This is the fundamental (if not the only) cause of the slowness. As a sidenote, a few Conkeror developers are working on a WebKit-based browser codenamed Minno (http://sourceforge.net/projects/minno/) which will use Gambit Scheme instead of JavaScript and will probably be lightning-fast in comparison. We are all looking forward to seeing where that project goes! That being said, I'd be surprised if the developers at Mozilla aren't investigating ways to make the platform as fast as it once used to be, so all hope isn't lost, I think. -- Deniz Dogan _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
