I am using a build from today and I know it is never going to be lighting quick on an M68060 but my point is that the speed seems unduly slow over an adsl link that normally downloads at 350k/s. I have reported before that Netsurf on the Atari seems slow at downloading pages so it might just be an issue with how Netsurf is using the OS ? It's not my area of expertise. Is it because there are a lot of files ? Is it a cache issue ? Long delays can often be observed on other pages. The git url is a useful test case because it is fairly stable and repeatable. No criticism, I am hoping this might help the devs find some speed improvements. Regards, Peter
