*cough* *cough* and *COUGH*, face it. If mozilla ever performs acceptably on
a 1ghz p4 with 1 gig of ram it will be a small miracle. Atm, mozilla brings
my Athlon 650 with 128MB ram to it's knees. This is a web browser people,
and this kind of resource usage is unacceptable.
Mozilla developers and other advocates have been telling for ages that
things will get better, hwever I am begging to wonder if suck.com was right.
