Re: [MLUG] Mozilla for IRIX

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Mozilla is very touchy about it's RAM usage I think. Not that it crashes
like Netsux but it slows down quite a bit if it has to work around
inadequate memory. That's been my experience with all builds in the last
couple years. I'd say for decent speed 128M ram would help a lot if you
have much else sucking up your mem. Less than 64M just blows. Galeon helps
somewhat with those issues though.


I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it.
