Man, me too! Mozilla is sooo much better now but it would be so sweet
to have a browser that was _just_ a browser-pager sometimes. Many docs
are HTML and loading moz is a real pain -10 seconds to get started on
Dual 450 Mhz w/ 256MB RAM. And after it's loaded, well, my memory
map(gtop) is like this:

It is really quite funny looking.
Galeon is suppose to be that modular format. Don't know how well it
works and don't know if the modules get 'cleaned' after a period of
time either. But it sure is a good idea... maybe great if it could be
done fast enuf on load.
