Topicbox-Message-UUID: befe58e2-ead1-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hi everybody, hope this message doesn't come out like a troll. I'm just wondering why some Plan 9 programs seem to act so slowly. Acme news is incredibly sluggish, and page takes far longer to display an image or a doc page than it has any right to. Admittedly, this is running on a PII machine, but even on one of those, I expect better performance. Hell, my 486 was better at displaying images.
