be an apparently too small buffer on the older display.
I have a feeling that it is FF which is "at fault". With version #8, and now #9, (both Nightlies, BTW) a new way of managing RAM was introduced which made FF much less resource-hungry - and made it FAST when compared to earlier versions.
I'm looking forward to the experience.
My connection is
10MB ADSL -- I have checked it on the ISP's online speed monitor. What is imposing the frequent pauses for the display to catch up? The problem does not exist on other sites.
Interesting. Do you have any security add-ons which may have this CNN site targetted for 'special attention'? NoScript, Ghostery, ADBlock,...?
I have NoScript and AdBlock. I should disable them one at a time, and see if that makes a difference.
Even though I have ADSL2+, with the distance I am from the phone exchange my speed is only averaging 200KB/s and yet I had absolutely no trouble in watching those videos on CNN - no stuttering, no pauses.
There is also another effect here, which I've learned to live with. If I switch pages in the browser, FF tells me (at the lower left of the window) immediately, of course, the URL of the new page, then about half a minute goes by until it says it's waiting for that URL, followed by the same time again until it says it's transmitting data. I attribute this to whatever is going on at the ISP, therefore beyond my control. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
