Well, I'm sorry to say that I don't see any noticeable change -- at least
on an initial site access. It still takes at least 25 secs to completely
load the BBC. However, if I ask for a reload while HaikuLauncher is
running, it drops to 5-6 secs. At a guess, I assume that it is caching
where W+ does not? But if I restart the app, it goes back to the long
time.
I did further tests with Bezilla. It was ~6 secs again with NoScript enabled,
but this time I then *completely* disabled NoScript, and it too went up to
25+ secs. Also I think that the BBC may not be quite behaving itself (:-/)
On all the browsers, when experiencing the slow performance, the progress
bar *never* actually completed! (I did the timing by watching the router
light and by when the page became scrollable.)
So I guess it's just that I have a slower net than most of you folks -- though
it's perfectly fine for video, for example. And it doesn't seem that W+ is
to blame.
Thanks,
