Netscape 6s rendering engine is NOT written in Java. This is complete bullshit. Its
written in XUL, a DTD for XML. Yes, Netscape 6s UI is slow [its rendering is faster
than IE], and requires RAM. Mozilla 0.6 seems *much* faster in the UI department. If
you want fast HTML rendering with full standards support, go for
Mozilla 0.6, Galeon, or the Mozill KPart announced last week.
