I just installed it and was suprised by how fast the splash screen
came up... then I realized that it's the browser window! it all took
about 1 second... rendering is also very fast... tables are rendered as
they are coming which means e.g. slashdot.org is loaded a LOT faster
than using netscape (other browsers use this technique it as well)...
feels like upgraded computer... It's probably not ready to be a primary
brosewer but it's worth to look at it just to see how much faster you
can get...
