Well, I have a clone of SS20. The same thing happens: mozilla is too
slow to be useable. It takes many second, a minute pehaps, just to
refresh a screen.
In the past, this machine has been used for a lot of computational
work. It runs netscape up to version 3.x reasonably fast. Netscape is
also very slow, by still faster than mozilla. Anyhow, netscape now
segfaults, perhaps after some libc6 upgrade, just notice it because I
don't launch unless it is absolutely necessary. (There is also some
posts on the sparc list on this subject.
