I am seeing the same poor performance -- my client machine is a 300MHZ
Ultra 10 with 256MB RAM running Solaris 8 -- my ticket/database machine
is a *dedicated* Ultra 60 (450MHz) with 512MB RAM. I am using netscape 4
and have seen similar performance problems with netscape when big or
lots of tables are involved. Netscape 6 (mozilla?) doesn't seem to be
much better, at least on Solaris.
