Is there a browser that is acceptable for slow computers? My AMD K6II
500MHz box takes forever to render a page, or even to switch tabs.

Given the galeon is using mozilla's rendering engine, and that the
alternatives I can think of are even worse (Konqueror is KDE, so
couldn't possibly have ever been designed to be at all resembling
quick).

Nutscap 4.7 was acceptable (hell, I would even call it fast), but
naturally, is a little broken.

Any experiences in this department, anyone?
