Okay, my _own_ experience: AMD 5x86-133 CPU overclocked to 160 MHz,
16 Megs of RAM, Windows'95 OSR2 Russian (this is the system I had two
years ago). Netscape 4 worked just fine, Opera... well, it kinda worked;-)))

I cannot confirm this. Launching speed on slow systems -- yes, but only
_launching_ speed.

Memory leaks can be fatal for the systems with low resources, at which

Thanks to god, no. It's a good example of "comparative advertisement",
which's forbidden in Russia by our laws.

I'd suggest returning to TB-related issues though;-)
