Hello,
I decided to get out of my netscape 4.x rut, and today I installed and
played around with both netscape 6.01 and mozilla 0.9.1.
I find both of them to be badly sluggish. Even clicking forward and
backward through some image files on the local system it is really
annoying. Between 0.5 - 1.0 seconds to map the image (even if it has
already been loaded by the browser). It vaguely reminds me of Xemacs on
a slow machine sifting through reams of lisp between context
switches... Similar sluggishness occurs with regular pages. Using
netscape 4.6 and 4.7 the response is pretty snappy (at least no
pregnant pauses are noticable) .
I thought mozilla / netscape 6 was suppose to be faster with gecko,
(etc)? Maybe for different kinds of rendering?
Has anyone else seen this? Even doing a cover-up and then re-expose of
the browser window has a noticable delay.
FWIW the machine is 2 cpu PPro 200, 196 MB of ram, 2.2 kernel. I
haven't seen this sluggishness with other apps, even staroffice is more
or less OK.
TIA,
Karl
