I've been running Mozilla Milestone14 for three days now. Unlike Netscape 4.7.2, which hung the keyboard and mouse frequently on java loop displays of animated gifs, M14 never does. M14, however, is slower than 4.7.2 by 25 to 35%. I have had 6 crashes in the three days I have had M14 installed. There is no reproducible pattern to any of the six crashes. At least I don't have to reset my PC to regain control when M14 crashes. The email feature is MUCH slower on M14 than previous versions of Netscape. CNN still does not recognize the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) of M14, which prevents me from testing the video options. As I said before, I think I'll wait for KDE's Konquorer.
Go easy on Mozilla. It's still alpha, so critising it is a bit unfair. There's still loads of assertions and debug code in there so it's hardly suprising it's slow. The beta is due out this week, which should be at least feature complete, but I would suggest you avoid that too, unless you really understand what you are looking at: this isn't finished code, it's unfair to moan about crashes and poor performance. On the bright side, Mozilla M14 seems to run a fair bit faster than Netscape 4.7 on my SMP box. I've a feeling they've threaded the new rendering engine. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
