That sounds like an opportunity to speed-up Arachne when browsing with
auto download of images turned-off :-)

During the several seconds after page download, while "Adjusting
Images" "Generating Virtual Screen" etc. the only changes in the
display are the progress indicators at the bottom of the screen.
Perhaps these are being updated so frequently that most of the cpu
time is being consumed unnecessarily?

Whatever the detailed reason behind being slowed by the graphics card
during the above period, it should be possible (though maybe
difficult) to achieve a worthwhile speed improvement.
