I'll bet they weren't pre-loading Mozilla with the -turbo option. You've
got to remember that all the essential components of IE 5.5 are loaded
along with the operating system. If you preload Mozilla the same way,
it's faster than IE.

When reading benchmark tests like the ones
done by CNet, we have to be careful at looking
at the number since they don't provide raw data.

Wait a minute though, you accepted the numbers they got with
Win2K and the high-end machine. ;-)

Yup, and their sniffing code says that I'm running Netscape 5.0! Why
don't they just have good sniffing code that says You're running the
latest nightly, you don't need Netscape 6.1. I bow to thee :)
My question - I presume profile sharing will be possible between

Interestingly, they don't mention standards compliance as a reason for
switching from 4.x to 6.1. They do mention various messaging features
and themes--but new browser features don't get bullet points.
They could have put something like Netscape 6.1 complies to
state-of-the-art Web standards
