FlashPeak Slimjet - good performance on an "aging" laptop computer

Last time I wrote on this blog, I wrote about "Alternative" Web browsers.  Since I wrote the article, I've been using the FlashPeak Slimjet Web browser more and more often.  One of the reasons I have been using it more often is that it has been decidedly more responsive than most of the other browsers that I've been using.  In particular, pages generally load and respond more quickly, sometimes significantly more so, particularly if I am accessing a Webmail page, such as Yahoo Mail or Google Gmail.

I haven't put a "stopwatch" to my observations, but on a couple of occasions, when I was using something else, I'd encounter delays of 5-15 seconds in loading pages, and when I would close them and start up the FlashPeak Slimjet browser instead, response time was typically less than 3 seconds.

I'm writing this note in Slimjet.  The response is immediate to keyboard input in the Blogger interface.
