You can remove the plug-ins, but I don't think that add any overhead until the actual 
time that are run. Running Netscape Gold is probably NOT what you want to do. Netscape 
Gold is exactly the same as Netscape (non-gold), with an WYSIWYG HTML editor in addition. 
It has even a higher memory requirement.

On another note: Microsoft is supposed to release Internet Explorer version 3 for the 
Macintosh on the 7th of this month. Microsoft claims that IE has smaller memory 
requirements (about 4 megabytes less); however I have seen other information that says 
that when IE is in use, the System File suddenly becomes much larger. However, IE does 
not have built-in Mail and News and overall should use less memory.
