I use a Pismo 400 with 768mb RAM as my "daily driver." For most browsing, I find it quite acceptable, and Camino is my regular browser.

There is one site that slows to a crawl: Hotmail. Not sure whether it's the underlying java script or the ads on the right. At any rate, switching between e-mails takes too long. I can feel my arteries hardening after a while. Or, as a character on Modern Family recently said, "I can feel my heart beating in my eyeballs."

I use Eudora from time to time, but my problem there is that I rotate my machines, and every time I check my inbox with Eudora, it downloads all messages and empties the box on the Hotmail server. Not perfect for me.

Anyone have a good workaround on this? Is there a simple Camino settings tweak that would make this run better? Good old Microsquish...it figures. The NYT site is positively zippy compared to Hotmail.
