Mozilla 1.7 Beta Is Faster And Smaller

Posted by timothy on from the working-nicely-here dept.

ccady writes "Mozilla 1.7 beta is out. Not too many new features, but "Mozilla 1.7 size and performance have improved dramatically with this release. When compared to Mozilla 1.6, Mozilla 1.7 Beta is 7% faster at startup, is 8% faster at window open time, has 9% faster pageloading times, and is 5% smaller in binary size." I'll be downloading it."

    Lemme get this straight, one post who riffs on a song is considered funny, while another riffing on the same fricken song and subject is off topic?

    Whoever modded that down should be shot through the lung.
