Mozilla and 6-10 rxvts, Oracle, Tomcat+Apache, and whatever the other users
are running.

On average, Mozilla consumes 5-10M-less resident than IE on startup. And
how often does it need to be said that IE on Windows hides a lot of its bloat
in the OS itself? This is why I compare Mozilla on Solaris against IE on
*Solaris*, where neither has a blatant advantage.
NT on a SPARCstation? You do know what a SPARC is, yes?

No, I just know how to set it up right, and how to compile Mozilla properly.

IE does an "OK" job. Nav4 tends to choose poor fonts, and doesn't deal with
large tables and styles well at all.

I can't think of any computer-related project that ever warranted the phrase
"crushing disappointment" upon failure, even for those that truely warranted
the word "failure". There are a number of other browsers available for use,
and some of them are even Gecko-based, if that's so important, perhaps you
should use one of them. Instead, you choose to whine-post here until everyone
dismisses you as a troll and a cretin. THAT qualifies as having an axe to
grind.
Suggestion: Get on your with your life.
