Mozilla Project Hurt by Apple's Decision to use KH

    This is not a particlarly fast machine, an Athlon 1400 I think,...

    I must be getting old; until I read your comment, it didn't occur to me that my Pentium-III 550, a scant four years old (was not willing to spring for the 650) was anything less than blinding in its speed (hey, after a 486-66, it is!). So, just how often am I supposed to replace my machine to keep it reasonable?
