Yes.

The fastest possible (I work for an ISP) :-)

The page had been loaded for several minutes before I viewed it.

Definitely not.  Even now the machine does not even use half of
its RAM.

Athlon XP 1800+ with 512 MB RAM (318 MB free).  I can reproduce
the effect at will:

  - start mozilla (on page 0 1)
  - use a bookmark to load http://fvwm.org/
  - switch to page 0 0 immediately
  - wait until the page has loaded
  - switch back to page 0 1

  => Rendering the pager and window borders takes about 1.5
     seconds.  Everything else is visible almost immediately.

  Note that it's only slow the first time the page is displayed.
  Switching between pages later is as fast as expected.

Bye
