I would say it's fair to assume that there WAS a lot of users who abandoned netscape because of its rendering performance. I am another. Netscape was clunky as hell when it came to this. You could almost smell "duct tape" code underneath when watching how the pages chunk-chunked along (rendered). It was not very elegant and I do believe many, many users switched to alternatives because of that.
