The following comparison is interesting..:
netscape 4.75-9mdk using mail client"
click on message CPU--4.0% MEM 10.7%
click on different mail box CPU 5.6 % MEM 10.7 %
mving mouse onto window to activate it CPU 3.8% MEM 11.1 %
mozilla 0.8 and its mail client:
click on message CPU--36 % MEM 28.0 %
click on different mail box CPU 90 % MEM 26 %
mving mouse onto window to activate it CPU 26% MEM 28 %
The lag times are as outrageous between the two as well !
Does anyone using the mdk version versus the binary builds notice anything different?
Does someone with a quad Zeon and a gig of ram have the same problem? :)
Just curious as I am trying to like mozilla but I sometimes
feel like I'M using a Commodore 64 or TI-99 again !!
(may they RIP)
