Re: OS X slow for internet?

[Jim Arnott]

My observation EXACTLY.  Using both Exploder and Mozilla, visited my 
favorite modem speed test page and there was a 30-40% performance hit in 
Jag.  Since my machines are primarily internet appliances, this was 
unacceptable.  Memory was not the problem (768mb). The OS was. Probably 
wouldn't be noticable with a fat pipe, but over dial-up... Hence, I 
still live the the Classic world.

So I'm about to chuck my FP iMac out the window.  Is
it normal for the internet to be slower on OS X than
OS 9 when using a modem?  It's almost unbearingly slow
in OS X, yet when I use my old 233 iMac with OS 9, it
zips along like nothing.  Is there a setting that I"m
missing that might help it speed up a little when
connecting with the modem?
