Then you need my css file to speed up IE, especially if you use
ClearType

search for "Speed Up IE!" in alt.os.windows-xp, by d2004xx

I don't find IE to be too slow, but I will look into "Speed Up IE!" anyway just

for
the halibut; thanks for the tip.


PS: The tip enables offscreen rendering in IE


I've heard of this in 3D apps, but how would it apply to a browser window?


M$'s "filter" CSS property enables this and DirectDraw in IE to do
special effects like transparency. It makes IE faster than opera and
mozilla

Serious question - why is SP2 so big?

It's about (80 to 100 MB for users fully up to date with XP patches
and is 200 plus MB for those who haven't been applying patches.

Let's say it is a average minimum of 90 MB. That is very big. Why
is it so large?



At least it fits on a single CD. Almost all the latest Linux distros
are 3 700MB ISO files


So would Windows if it included all the additional tools, utilities
compilers etc that the Linux distros include.


I know - I was just wondering why the original poster was so worried
about 200MB...
