Is it more, or does OWB v3.21 (for OS4) feel a lot more responsive than older versions? (Maybe it happaned in v3.20 or 3.19 & I missed it because of the bugs.)

I'm tempted to guess that it was made more multi-threaded...

I can't honestly say I can see a difffernce. I find OWB very useful, for those awkward sites, but you can't do anything with a webpage till it's completely loaded, includeing all javascript and images. This is very restricting as often you need to browse from a start apge to a subsequantly linked page, and in such a case you don't need to see the whole page etc. just click on the link once it's  there. So if there is alsight increase once the page has loaded, it's masked by this behaviour IMHO.

But it's our best solution yet, and making constant progress....

On classic I find it slower than 3.20, actually.

I have to say that isn't true. I can click on links, scroll, etc while it is still loading some images (and maybe other stuff). But it does seem to need to load a lot of the page first, before rendering it, but I heard that may be due to CSS limitations (perhaps combined with OWB not loading stuff fast enough?).

I guess I was talking about noticing that I could switch tabs when the page had not finished loading.

I got this problem some times. Seems to be due to a corrupt "cookie database", usually after a crash. Close OWB, delete "cookieCollection.db", and then try again with OWB.

I have most of my applications on my system partition (DH0:).

OWB is updated fairly often, so when I upgrade to a newer version of OWB, I usually put the new one onto one of my other partitions until I am satisfied that it works, then I move the whole drawer over to my system partition.

With OWB 3.21 I found it runs faster from my second partition (DH1: formatted for JXFS) than from my system partition which is formatted for FFS. This may also have been the case with some of the earlier versions but I wanted to keep my working copies on my system partition.

Sometimes my system slows down to a crawl when I am using OWB 3.21. Not sure if something is munching away at RAM or if it is the usual limitations of my MicroA1 (256 MB RAM and 32 MB Video RAM).

I'm considering moving some other applications off my system partition and running a smaller cleaner system partition with the other stuff on my second partition.

It is so ...

Actually it seems to depend on the page.

For a test I loaded http://blender.org and could click on links there before the main page had loaded. but at http://adsense.google.com non of the links or form elements become active till the whole page has loaded.

Can't really feel any difference between it and older versions tbh.

@ChrisH

I think it feels a bit slower... also the snowflakes at amigans.net brings up CPU usage a lot... as soon as I scroll down a little bit to hide the snowflakes CPU usage gets lower again... It's allways been that way with OWB AFAIK and it's hard to tell if it's normal... I wonder if it'll be the same with timerwolf...

@austgarden

Ah ! But what kind of fish has those enormous kind of teeth ????

Do you have a larger version of your avatar ?

Cheers


ps, mine is a zombie hamster btw.... a christmas one, that is...

Yuck! You really should consider moving to SFS.

No idea, but as you have half the video ram of my Sam440, it could be video memory running out. Have you added "video memory free" to your Workbench title bar? Then you can check if this is the case.

BTW, Update 1 is said to make video memory usage more efficient.

I suspect high CPU usage because of snowflakes (heh, read that out of context!) is normal, since it's probably using Javascript heavily.
