> Preferably, we'll see some benchmarks comparing different versions of
Web+ against each other on the same machine, same connection. (a stable
connection - *NOT* satellite)
Older versions of WebPositive will not run on recent nightlies, and recent
versions will not run on r1a3. This would require compiling WebPositive on
an older version of HAIKU to compare then side by side.

fresh install. It would preferably be done via some kind of web-based
browser test suite so that it can be recreated on a whim by others.

I'll believe it - the latency involved and the funky caching that
satellite modems utilize could probably cause untold numbers of issues for
Haiku and Web+ at this stage.
I have the same issue with the laptop at work, a cable connection, at a
friends house ... a different cable provider, and at my remote work
location, a third cable provider as well as a DSL connection. None of
these are due to the Sattelite connection I use at home, and on an older
version of WebPositive, in an earlier version of HAIKU, I do not
experiance these extreemly slow page loads even on the Sattelite internet
connection. I believe that the Internet connection can be ruled ouit.

I suspect this ticket will go nowhere - as it's too subjective and vague
at this point.
