Actually, theming is a really frequently requested feature, and it did work once upon a time, so I promised I would fix it. FTR, I don't use it either, but I guess a lot of people do.

In any case, I'm going to just go with a patched up SpiderMonkey for 9.2. It's still a big improvement, but I'm missing some pieces of DOM to get things like jQuery working 100%, so that will be my next goal on the road to release. I might bring this up again for 9.4, though, when I next reexamine scripting. By then there will be some new layout code, so at least that will be something for the 601s to use in their twilight.

I think that a fast 604 would be fine for this. Certainly my 233MHz G3 systems do "all right" and I bet a Kansas would be faster. A regular 603 wouldn't win any speed awards, of course, but I certainly wouldn't exclude pre-G3 systems unless I had a good reason.

Believe it or not, I even heard from someone using a 601 card and a IIci to run Classilla. He described it as pokey but useable. I was seriously impressed.
