I wonder if this is an Iyonix versus RPCSA bonus. My Iyonix too only takes 2 seconds to start up NetSurf.

So I loaded Netsurf and checked it, having looked at only a few sites this morning. I found a global history for "Today" a mile long - 90,607 bytes long to be precise. I deleted it quit netsurf and reloaded. Now I have a global history that looks to be identical to the one deleted. Most of the sites have not been visited for a long time and some I've never heard of let alone visited. The few I checked had today's date attached. What is going on here?? This may well be the reason for the long loading time but this should not be happening.
