I've just done two fetches of the BBC weather site with RISC OS NetSurf. They were both slow, but the second one was a bit less slow. > I dunno about Chrome's facilities, but if you have Firefox, it has a set of > developer's tools, one of which allows you to see all the things it does to > fetch a page (eg fetch the base html, fetch the files that refers to, fetch > the files the subsidiary ones referred to etc) and it will display the times > taken for different stages of the overall process, showing you which bits > took all the time. Understanding that would be beyond my capabilities. O imagine some relevant information would also be in NetSurf's logfile, but I wouldn't understand that either. The thing that's puzzling me is that this slowness has only happened recently, and doesn't affect other websites.
