This as you are fully aware would cause mozilla to gobble up CPU in short bursts of approximately .5 - 3 seconds during which time the video would be very choppy. 06int is much improved in this scenario, the pauses during refreshing web pages have almost disappeared. There are still very small hiccups in the video playback during the refreshes. Also, I use a local web page that queries a local mysql db to display a large table in mozilla. So, mozilla, apache and mysql are all local. 06int is a huge improvement in this area as well. It is decreases the choppiness of the video greatly. Previously this would cause almost a complete halt of the video for several seconds and now I would say there is only a small amount choppiness. It is still pretty choppy on the initial load of that page after a reboot, maybe nothing is cached yet? Thanks for your hard work! Regards, Shane
