Why is Omniweb Just the Pokey Puppy of Browsers

[Gerard Vanderleun]

Now right up front I want to say that Omniweb is my browser of choice, 
my default state for a lot of reasons concerning features and 
functionality. Nice job. Okay?

Having said that I just would like to have any ideas about how you can 
possibly speed this turtle up. Besides being my favorite browser it is 
also, by several orders of sensation, the slowest, most crawling along, 
lacking urgency, non-crisp and overall plodding browser I use.

Safari, fast enough
Camino, even faster
Firefox is as firefox does

I'd have to (shudder) look but I suspect that even IE is faster.

I've emptied the cache, trashed the icons and done other things to 
speed Omniweb up but nothing seems to work. It just lumbers on.

What can be done if anything or is this lack of speed just something 
that is a feature not a bug in that it enables me time to make a 
sandwich while a page loads.

[Running the latest Omniweb version, yes I am. Is it the web rendering 
engine that is clogged. ]

Don't get me wrong. I love Omniweb, but our relationship just can't go 
on if she's always going to load late.
