you're right. i checked again and noticed various animated gifs and banners on the page i was browsing.

but still, my other browsers don't suck up that many cycles when hidden.

Hmmm...

Even when viewing www.shockwave.com, which has a lot of Flash & Shockwave content, Mozilla tops out at 3% of CPU usage.

Mozilla just bumped out both OW and IE for me as default browser, at least for the time being.

Made the ever important change in Internet Preferences to make Mozilla the default browser...

Thumbs up rendering comparison

I just posted this over at MacNN... thought you'd be interested:

Okay, I just did a simple rendering speed test. I saved this page to hy hard drive, cleared the cache of all browsers, closed all browsers, re-opened the browers, and timed how long it took to COMPLETELY load the page. In OmniWeb, I turned OFF the "Start drawing web pages before they are entirely loaded" option. This is on my Dual 500 G4 with OSX 10.1.2 and 832MB of RAM.

Omniweb 4.0.6: 9.0 seconds
Omniweb 4.1 sneakypeek 36: 7.8 seconds
Internet Explorer 5.1: 10.3 seconds
Mozilla 0.9.8: 3.9 seconds


'Nuf said.

Open up in there. This is the browser police. your neighbors have filed a complaint. We also have reports you are aiding and abetting a pretty shabby corporation.

you boys just keep the volume down and we'll let you go with a warning this time
