Disabling smooth scrolling may help. Although on my system it still is slow as hell. > Does anyone else find the same thing?

It is GNOME based, but GNOME applications perform very well in Fluxbox. -- Galeon (galeon) -- Another browser for GNOME. It has a comfortable interface that lets you change most options quickly. It does not seem to support extensions of any kind, but it already has quite a lot of features. -- Kazehakase (kazehakase) -- An interesting GTK+ based browser. It is somewhat similar to Galeon, but does things differently. The drawback is that it will pull Mozilla in. -- Mozilla (mozilla-browser) -- The mother of all free software browsers. Has a lot of features, extensions, an ugly interface. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
