I'm getting the 'write speed not high enough' message every start up on my system*. If the system is failing a benchmark of 120 KB/sec, how is it that !Speed records IKB and 4KB block write speeds on the SD card in question as 314 and 1067 KB/sec respectively (and larger blocks much faster e.g. 6809 KB/sec for 64KB)? *NS 3.3, RasPi B @ 900MHz, RO 5.21 [RC12, 12-Jan-15]. -- George

#2652 page rendering oddity
Almost invariably, loading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzogchen initially gives a page display which looks to me like the an incomplete html file contents (poor description, explanation, I'm afraid). Reloading the page usually then renders the page correctly, in full. Do others get the same behaviour, please?

It seemed to load normally here, albeit very slowly, but some of the images were missing. Not sure if it is the same effect, but I have found recent versions of NetSurf seem to miss fetching some of the images on pages with lots of thumbnails. A reload then gets them all. NetSurf v. 3.1 always loads the full set of thumbnails first time. -- Chris Johnson

There was a very recent change to one of the Atari modules in git and I wondered if it might have been caused by that ? Peter
