While we're on the subject, do you know if 4.08 supports HTTP pipelining? I remember ~back in the day~ when pipelining was an option for the Windows version, which made no difference over dial-up but did speed things up over my company LAN. I can't remember which version of Netscape implemented it though.

I ran a couple of quick and dirty benchmarks using S7T's software updates page and CNN's front page, using a PowerBook 5300ce running 7.6.1, OT 1.3 and WaveLan 6.00.4. In short: load times on a 5300ce were halved using the user.js mod on S7T and an astonishing 3x decrease on CNN. As mentioned elsewhere Open Transport 1.3 does seem to make a difference vs. 1.1.2 in Netscape (seat of the pants opinion, no hard numbers to back that claim up).

I did some previous posts about optimizing Netscape using a user.js file. So you can pick up some browsing speed there.


I can confirm that your user.js hack works amazingly well, at least on my PowerBook 5300ce running OT 1.3. This is a must have hack for Netscape 4.8.
