Slow Mac OS X Revisited

Regarding the slowness of browsing on Mac OS X Bill Bumgarner writes that it isn’t Mac OS X that makes browsing slow, but that is either the case of “bad engineering or good engineering for a completely different system” (that is, for Mac OS 9) of apps like Internet Explorer.

Update: I re-ran the check against the Apple Store at work, where I have a Windows 2000 PC, and the times I got in OmniWeb, Chimera and Internet Explorer on Mac OS X were about the same as home (~30, 9 and 11 seconds) and Internet Explorer 5.5 on the Windows machine (a Pentium III 800 MHz with 512 MB RAM) needed 10 seconds from hitting enter to the page being fully loaded.

The above was posted to my personal weblog on April 22, 2002. My name is Peter Lindberg and I am a thirtysomething software developer and dad living in Stockholm, Sweden. Here, you’ll find posts in English and Swedish about whatever happens to interest me for the moment.
