The 33MHz looks slow to me, but someone more familar with the IDE specs is
going to have to jump in here with a comparison

I would expect about 5 seconds on your hardware. Keep in mind that
Mozilla loads a lot of DLLs. This slows down loading on any system
regardless of speed.

OK. That says none of the time is being spent going out on the net looks
for your home page. That's what I wanted to check.

>I created a file, "Homepage.txt" and configured Mozilla to use it as my

This makes sense since it's really not much more work than starting with a
blank page.
