Hmmm... I fing that IE4 (16bit) and A166 run at roughly the same speed,
given similiar tasks. IE's ability to handle JavaScript doesn't slow its
rendering of AQC, home.arachne, &c.
What's the problem? This IE version/computer *are* rather slow with
Java-laden pages, but at least I am able to access them!
My problem is that I must resort to IE in the first place...
PS- I do not regularly use pages that can be accessed with JS disabled.
In my situation its all or nothing.
