I run a Duron @ 800 mhz on an Abit K7T RAID. I have two harddrives, a
30 gig maxtor and a 6 gig quantum. Quantum is on IDE1, IDE2 has my CD
and CDRW, IDE3 has my Maxtor. The system has 512 megs of RAM, and runs
Windows 2000 and Linux Mandrake 8.1. Mozilla performs like shit in
linux, due to me be completely unable to get X running with anything
other than completely unaccelerated basic VGA display because for some
reason it doesn't like my Kyro II card.
I'll do that 6 windows in each thing right now:
IE 6 final - Nothing out of the ordinary
Mozilla Build 2001083003 - I am completely unable to reproduce what you
described. At no point during any page load operations, or any
operations that I can try, does Mozilla become completely unresponsive.
I've seen the occasional big page lock up a Mozilla window while the
page is reflowing and painting, but other Mozilla windows always remain
responsive. Perhaps this is due to an 800 mhz duron with 512 megs of
RAM and Windows 2000. Your milage may vary with a 450 mhz processor, 64
megs of RAM and Windows 9x. I do find that IE6 is slightly faster at
displaying SOMETHING for me to look at while it's loading, but in overal
load times I find Mozilla is quicker to get a full working page up in
front of me. I've also found IE6's right click speed is horrible.
Takes a good 1 or 2 seconds for the menu to appear.
