One interesting alternative that should be ready eventually is the Opera
web browser. Amongst it's advantages is that it is a lot smaller (~1.5
megs) than Netscape. That should translate into much better performance
although it would be more noticeable on a slow connection than say a
DSL/cable-modem connection. It does cost $35 US currently but would be
well worth it if the performance gains bear out.
