Well, I have a clone of SS20. The same thing happens: mozilla is too slow to be useable. It takes many second, a minute pehaps, just to refresh a screen. In the past, this machine has been used for a lot of computational work. It runs netscape up to version 3.x reasonably fast. Netscape is also very slow, by still faster than mozilla. Anyhow, netscape now segfaults, perhaps after some libc6 upgrade, just notice it because I don't launch unless it is absolutely necessary.
