I just went to have a look at the Netsurf repository. http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/desktop/textarea.c
The download pauses for about 10-15 seconds between each update of the number of kb downloaded, there is only about 438k but it took a while. Also Netsurf grabbed over 50MB of memory and when it rendered the page it said it took 1133.4s I tried the less complex Highwire browser and it took less than 3s for the whole thing. I expect finding the cause(s) could be difficult. Peter
