Well, in general, I doubt if things have improved for us poor ol'
"dialupers", and of course, will not improve any further as its
basically a dead technology.  But, no, it can't be the Christmas
thingit's just way too extreme for that, and I've never noticed that
before on ours, actually.  Since FF seems to be working quite well, and
the, ugh..."other browser" just flies through it all, it's obviously
something with sm, unfortunately.  Oh well, I guess we can survive with
FF until/if SM's next version improves things.


No idea if this will help on dialup, but you might try going into
about:config and setting:
network.dns.disableIPv6;true

Try experimenting with pipelining (Keep-Alive) and Link Prefetching
turned on/off.

Note: you can compare these settings in Fx in about:config as well.
network.http.pipelining;true
network.http.keep-alive;false

Perhaps someone w/dialup can offer more suggestions.


Thanks for the suggestions, but these are all set identically in both FF 
and SM, so probably not a clue?  What is IPv6?  I have never had 
pipelining on, the warnings kinda veered me away from that, what does 
that do?
