Using http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/gl52 1 minute 20 seconds with RISC OS NetSurf, already on the icon bar; with Chrome in Windows, again already running, less than 2 seconds.

Is this worth a bug report? NetSurf #2441 downloads the weather in 4.6s on the RaspberryPi. Is there by any chance spurious junk in a previously used NetSurf Cache? -- David Pitt

An unashamed plug for my two apps - doesn't help netsurf though. Newsuk and weatheruk pull the data off the BBC. Available on the plingstore (free).
