An Even Faster Browser?

Posted by Cliff on Sunday January 19, 2003 @04:59PM from the living-up-to-the-hype dept.

octavian755 asks: "Seems that a 16-year-old Irish student has created an Internet browser called XWEB, which is the fastest browser known to date. This browser is said to be capable of boosting surfing speeds on a dial-up connection by 100 to 500 percent. What I would like to know is something like this even possible?"

Now, even the best coders only do ~100 lines of code per day...
That's not true; some coders may write 500, some may write 50, and others may write only five.

I'm not even that sure it is worth measuring the lines of code written as a performance indicator either; I've had days at work where I've written only one line of code - but it was the line to solve a random threading deadlock; and so it was the correct line to write.
