Since the Atari is one of the slower machines using Netsurf I imagine it is good test for highlighting anything reducing speed. High-end users might not notice a small speed drop. I am going to work back through the versions to see if it is a real or imagined performance drop. I haven't made any changes that could have affected the performance. Regards, Peter
