Hi Hammer,
}- }- ... even turning images off didn't speed it up much for
}- }- me ...
}- That's precisely the point, Boanne - in all those "graphical"
}- browsers this just turns off the pixel *presentation* of all
}- sorts of inserts but still does not avoid downloading all
}- those tagged files of wallpapers and other highly relevant
}- "information". (Test: dorwnload some URLs with "images turned
}- off", cut the line, run those pages from the cache with
}- "images on": and they are all there.)
Yes - for the longest time I couldn't understand why I kept
seeing "verifying images" on Arachne's status bar when I had
images turned off. Then I shelled out and looked in the cache.
Sure enough there were .gif and .jpg files there. Then I
understood part of the reason why it was so slow even running
on the ram disk. (I still think Arachne has major memory
problems, but that's another issue.)
}- This though is what costs time, and connection fees.
Time, that's my issue, I just don't want to twidle my thumbs
while I wait for pages to come in and parse. I'm lucky, I
haven't paid for internet access (or for my email address or
website) for almost a year now, my son's in the business. ;)
}- Genuine text browsers, like the Lynxes, wouldn't do that (but
}- still allow to download the embedded "objects" explicitely,
}- and separately).
Yes, NetTamer is the same way, though I very rarely download
graphics.
