If you are running Windows95, 8MB of RAM is way too small, especially on a
486.  Ideally, you should have 16MB (isn't that the minimum recommended on
the Windows95 box?) and with a 486, 24MB gets closer to ideal.

Basically, Win95 and Netscape are both memory hogs...anything you can add
will greatly improve the situation.

PS: Come to think of it, you might try looking at the fragmentation on your
hard disk...
