I'd have to agree with you that it is nice and fast and lightweight.  A
quick comparison from top on my ...(furtively looks to see if Dave is
around)... AMD64 Linux box shows me:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

26116 caleb     16   0 37044  19m  21m S  0.0  1.9   0:00.72 firefox-bin

That's a HUGE difference in resource consumption.

To make this on topic for [rescue], this is a modern browser that is
usable on older hardware (I use it as my main browser on my Indy).  

Cheers,
