Informal tests ... speed of browsers?

[Bradley Miller]

Ok, these are pretty informal, two runs back to back (within 30 minutes)
and except for the Opera tests (50K), all 500K.  This is what I found:

Testing against Netscape/Linux P200:

Win95/Opera/Laptop	Win95/IE/Laptop  Netscape/Linux P200	NT/IE 4.0/400
	20% faster	  -5% slower		57% faster		  48% faster

Laptop = P75 Laptop with 24Mb memory / PCMCIA ethernet card
400 = P2-400Mhz with 128Mb memory
P200 = P-200 Mhz with 48Mb memory 

This is by no means a scientific test . . . the results change all the
time.  I did factor in the time of day . . . and at the last test (5:20PM
or so) the Linux box on Netscape came back with 1568.6 Kbps and 192.2K/sec.
