Could anyone shed some light on tweaking browser performance. Everything
else in the system seems to be working as it should. The one hangup is
that the web pages take forever to load up. I thought it was my ISP
playing games because of my OS but Red hat works fine. I am using SuSE
9.0 Pro on a pentium 4 1.9 Ghz with 256 mags of ram and an NVidia
geforce card so I don't thing hardware since K3B works way faster than
it's windows variant, even in the raw mode. Is this a firewall setting
that is examining every packet for malicious code? If so it is also
affecting the download of game maps as well.
