    Hmm, on my 300MHz/256MB machine (my 1.5 GHz Athlon is in the mail ;) Galeon running under IceWM absolutely crawls, while Windows 2000 + IE6 absolutely flies. Opening a new window in Galeon takes several seconds while a new IE window opens instantaneously. Surfing with dozens of windows open at the same time is absolute hell. There is no "may" about it. Speed-wise, GNOME and KDE are both pieces of shit.
