Yesterday I booted mosaic on my IIsi FPU installed and it took 10 minutes.
Then I tried running it with the -geometry tag.  It took 2 minutes flat.
It doesn't matter what size you set it to because for some reason it just
makes this tiny window no matter what size.  Does anyone know if this is a
bug in Mosaic?  Also I don't really care it cut down the boot time by 5 I'm
happy now.
