Really? This is quite odd, because running Netscape remotely from my
AlphaStation 200 4/233, file->new->navigator window doesn't take 12
seconds. This is a much slower maching running something along the
lines of 1.4.2. It has about 96 MB. The display is my PWS433a with
128MB. I am running Netscape 4.61 for Tru64^WOSF/1^W...
I'll install it locally on the PWS433 and see how long it takes.
