I should also mention that NetPositive doesn't work directly even in that rev. [NetPositive?! Yep -- For the websites that it still works on -- which are the majority I access regularly, like Google, Wikipedia, and the BBC -- it's many times as fast as even W+. (I just did some timing: BBC -- 3 secs vs 25 to bring up the main page!) I don't have to wait and fume while all that javascript is sorted out!]
I remember you mentioning how slow Web+ was for you before, and that doesn't seem to match up with other people's experience of it. Is process controller showing the CPU pegged for all that time? If not then I suspect it's not Javascript to blame, but something in your network setup that is introducing the lag.
I suppose the lack of any caching in Web+ and the probably large amount of js/css referenced by the BBC which would not even be downloaded by Net+ may have something to do with it too.
For me under VirtualBox with R1A4, most of the content on the BBC homepage was there within 3 seconds, with loading finished by 6 seconds.
