 What's happened to the rendering speed?

 I just downloaded the 27 Jun 2005 02:00 build and immediately got the
 impression it was a lot slower than the one I used before (23 Jun 2005
 18:15). It did a lot of 'hourglassing' during the 'Processing...' stage,
 while the previous versions only seemed to do that very briefly, just
 before going to 'Formatting...'. 
It's a known problem induced by the latest version of UnixLib (a library
that NetSurf uses). We're looking into it. For now, if it's a problem
to you, then please use an earlier version.

 I'll admit that on my aging RPC with ARM 610 this will probably
be more
 noticeable than on an Iyonix or a StrongARM machine, but still... 
For some html, the slowdown can be quite noticable even on latest hardware,
so you can rest assured that it will be fixed ;)
