- Yes, I've got executive running as well, and fiddling with MUI apps
- still isn't helped by that. Altering priorites in the way you suggest
- would just make MUI run slower, and is not a very intuitive solution,
- especially as I presume new users are supposed to be enticed into
- buying the pack.

- But what machine do you have? If you have an ECS machine then the
- docs state that on ECS machines the speed up will be greater than with
- AGA.
-
- I don't hate MUI, it'd be a nice system if only it were a little bit
- faster, 3.2 is very nearly what I'd call acceptable in this case. It's
- the memory usage that is a pain now.

- I _know_ that, but apparently as225r2 uses _more_ memory than AmiTCP.
- A web browser will still use large amounts of memory no matter what
- TCP stack you use, purely because of the inline gfx.
