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. ->HS -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
