There was no proof. You posted numbers based upon two entirely
different setups. K-Meleon is not "Mozilla with a native UI". K-Meleon
is *Gecko* with a native UI. If you think that Gecko, the rendering
engine, == Mozilla, then you've been misreading statements about Mozilla
for a *long* time. K-Meleon does not use any of Mozilla's standard
features, like history, the sidebar, PSM, and so on (the list is quite
lengthy, and I couldn't be, nor would I want to be, exhaustive).
Whether or not you actively use the features, many of them have to be
loaded in case you do (although there are bugs filed about lazily
loading some things that are unnecessary). XUL causes a bit of a
startup hit, for compilation, but it is *not* the reason K-Meleon seems
twice as fast (to you; I've found Netscape 6.1 PR1 to be surprisingly
responsive). Mozilla does a lot more than K-Meleon does.
