Hi!
all the last versions of Communicator that I have installed:
v4.05 v4.5 v4.6 and v4.7 all use lots of memory, even with 64MB of Ram,
It is slow when I open more than 2 windows and browse the Internet for
more than one hour.
My hope is that Mozilla will get rid of all this bugs and memory leaks.
There is hope still, I have read in a Linux magazine 2 months ago:
Caldera is porting Arachne for Linux,
bye!
