I wonder how you figured it out from the article. After all, the article
reads:
About Turbo Mode
The fairly new Mozilla turbo mode for the Windows edition
loads some Mozilla code when the system is booted. That
means that Mozilla will start more quickly when you open it
because some of the Mozilla code already is loaded into
Windows Memory.
The Netscape people call this turbo-mode feature Quick Launch in
Netscape 6.1. It's meant to try to make Netscape 6 (and Mozilla) more
competitive with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which seems to start
more quickly than does Netscape 6.
Does he write here that explorer uses a similar feature as of version 4.0?
to allow it a faster load?
This mozilla program must be doing a terrible job with the loader, right?
;-)
[no need to reply]
If you want some extra fun reading, try the article "is netscape loosing
the browser wars" on that site. That Mike Angelo does there a great job of
misquoting quotes about the stability of netscape 6.0 (which really isn't
stable) and ignoring the fact that no linux distro needs mozilla
repackaged and branded by netscape, when it can simply add a mozilla
packge.
