(galeon is better though). a pentium 166 with 96MB of ram runs it much slower, but the slowness is again mainly centered on UI stuff, browsing isn't bad. > Oh- and I also get "Can't view this page with your browser" errors! never seen that. > Maybe it needs to be rebuilt with less debugging and more optimization? > I haven't looked at all at Takuo's source package. its compiled --without-debug --with-optimization (or however those are named) and with -O3 compiler optimization. believe me, it can't be optimized anymore then it is as far as build opts. unless of course -O3 is bogus and harmful on powerpc... i wouldn't know. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
