(Even more OT for the OT discussion.) And the funny[1] thing about this is, for all these optimizations, web browsers in 2016 browsing the web in 2016 are generally *slower* than 1996 browsers browsing the web in 1996. And it has been like this for coming close to a decade now. At least two major reasons: websites are even more full of cruft than ever before, and the mobile web. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2008/05/why_your_internet_experience_i.html http://www.wired.com/insights/2014/11/the-web-is-getting-slower/ [1] In the sense of "I must laugh or else I will cry". -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
