Really?  Mozilla seems to fly due to it's more efficient display 
engine and threading; I'll wait till the debugging code is removed 
and the optimizations inserted before passing judgement on it's 20% 
memory consumption.  Netscape 4.73 eats up about 7% of my 128MB of 
RAM for every open window, which can add up quickly; also, it's 
fingertapping-slow.
