> Nobody is doubting your particular symptoms. Equally there is no reason
to doubt that anevilyak is not seeing the same thing on his setup, so it
seems a reasonable conclusion that this bug does not affect all hardware.
Getting angry is not the way to reach a solution.
I wasn't getting angry, just pointing out that the change in description I
made was to improve understanding, not the opposite as was stated by
anevilyak. His condecending tone suggested that this is just a figment of
my immagination, and not a "real" problem.

> I believe Web+ doesn't do any local caching, so will result in more
network requests for each page load. I wonder if there is an issue with
the network drivers in use on the machines you have tested. Could you
provide more details of the hardware on which you have observed the slow
page loads? Some network drivers suffered a performance regression after
the latest FreeBSD driver update; the plan is to patch them manually for
the alpha4 release so if you have others affected by the same issue it
would be good to know about them before the release. See #8454
My hardware:
on my desktop:
1 processor
Inter Pentium 4
2.80 GHz
1528MiB
Realtek
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
on my netbook:
2 processors
Intel Atom
1.60GHz
1015MiB
Atheros wifi
AR242x/AR542x Wireless Network Adapter
Atheros network adapter
AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Fast Ethernet

> I agree that Web+ should be better at handling background tab loading,
but it sounds like that will require a rewrite of the network backend
which is a significant undertaking. Although we want R1A4 to be as good as
possible, we have to accept it will not be perfect (otherwise it would be
R1!) - it is still an alpha release, and people testing should assume that
performance and stability are still all to be improved.
Indeed, but this is a large regression from the performance of R1A3.
