Re: Mozilla is so slow! Problem with my upgrade to 2.2r3?
Hi,
I didn't see anyone else weigh in with quite my opinion so I
thought I'd throw it in.

I would say that it went OK. maybe do some research, ask
questions about those messages.

Definately memory. Buy some more, it is relatively cheap
right now. I've got a P200 with 96MB and it runs KDE and
has all sorts of processes loaded (Zope, PosgreSQL,
Apache, etc). Sure, it is a little slow and swaps lots
whenever I start something big but it is perfectly useable.
Galeon and Skipstone work great, Mozilla is slow but also
works. With a simpler window manager, you're going to be
much better off than I am with KDE.
Opera of course is highly reccomended but I see you've
had bad luck with it.
