Ugh... then that can be make a difference, I mean, the low amount of ram
and low-range CPU. My main computer is a core2 quad with 8 GiB of ram so
that site was having no significantly effect on my system but can indeed
slow things down if your system is busy or has put the available
resources into VB or another KDE services :-)

you experience a difference with it :-?
