My Firefox (1.5 on Sid) is really, really slow (startup, getting /
rendering pages, and even things like displaying the prefs screen) and
frequently (generally whenever it's doing anything interesting, as
above) raises cpu usage to 100%, but I'm running on a 475 mhz k6 with
192 MB SDRAM. OTOH, total system memory usage is usually less than 150
MB, so memory doesn't seem to be the bottleneck. I haven't tried
Opera, but from my brief trials of Epiphany it doesn't seem much
better. Not sure about Konquerer; KDE isn't currently installed.
