Not me. Slow as molasses. Using version a195gpl under PC DOS 2000. Are there any particular settings you have that enable that kind of speed? When I do a google search, Arachne is fast enough in returning a result. However, going to the website is significantly slower, especially on highlyformatted pages and pages with lots of images, like google news. It literally takes about a minute for the page to fully download (i.e. the messages about verifying images, etc. in the lower left hand corner stops). I suppose I could turn off the inline images in setup, but I might as well get a text browser. According to mem, it says have 550k in available memory to run programs, so I don't think that's the problem. In config.sys, himem.sys is installed and EMM386.exe is set to noems. Have 4GB's of physical memory. Any ideas as to what could be the problem?
