Hey Rob,
No, I am not using any of the lightweight browsers. I compared Chrome, Firefox, and Slimjet (which is pretty much Chrome). I tried them first use, and follow-on use.
They were all faster on Debian based systems (lightweight systems) than on Ubuntu (lightweight) systems except for the Makulu Ubuntu based, which is "Debian fast". I wish now I had timed them but honestly on these old boxes it's essentially day/night ... a couple seconds vs. 10-15. Maybe something to do with memory use, or ?? In no case was swap used (2Gb ram). Just curious.
