Not true, Netsurf does javascript. 68k version has Javascript turned OFF by default. It slows down system a lot.

Perhaps just pointing out that IBrowse on a 50MHz 030 is faster than Netsurf on a 2.8GHz Pentium D doesn't impress the enormous scale of the anomaly. Based on clock speed alone the PC should more than 50 times faster. Take into account the fewer clocks per instruction and other speedups of a Pentium CPU and the ratio should be 200 times or more. One has to wonder what Netsurf was doing with all that extra horsepower.
Maybe Netsurf just has an issue with a few web pages, and is much faster on others. In that case gregthecanuck's choosing EAB and amiga.org for his test was unfortunate. Thing is though, these are two websites that many of us visit regularly. So no matter how 'flawed' the results may be they are still relevant for an Amiga web browser.

I got quite different results.
