IE4.01 runs like molasses in winter on Pauline's Performa 630 with 8MB RAM. Not surprising really. So I'm trying out iCab pre-release 2.3 and it certainly feels snappier and there's much less disk thrashing and more sustained modem activity. It certainly throws up a page quicker than IE4 since it fills in the graphics after the text. I like it a lot. Time will tell if it's a marked improvement.

I checked out the price of Performa expansion memory earlier and found 32MB SIMMS for the Mac at $36. I wonder if there's a UK supplier with similar prices. Must look later. I'm sure 36MB (4MB + 32MB) would make a world of difference ;-)
