Netscape 6.2/Mozilla performance

I would add, that when you are 
installing either Netscape or Mozilla on the PC, you are 
asked whether you want to run "Quick Launch" at startup. If 
you say "No" and disable this option, performance will
not be nearly as good as IE's ( makes sense, Mozilla 
isn't built into the operating system.) However,
with Quick Launch enabled performance is pretty good.

For those that may have it disabled, or if you're 
not sure whether it's enabled, you can re-enable it by 
going to "Edit" then "Preferences" then highlight the 
"Advanced" tab, then check the box labeled "Enable Quick 
Launch".
