I can give one example: in Icepae (Debian Testing) it takes around 30
seconds to get Slashdot page loaded partially when Iceape then tells me
that the web page has a script running that is taking a bit too long. I
then tell noscript to stop that script. End result, around 30 seconds to
load this web page.
This is on a 1.9 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, 1.25 GB RAM.
On a newer machine that web page loads within some seconds, around 5 or
so if I am not wrong.
