Hmm, I would say so :))

But, talking of Mozilla, I put 0.7 on my work machine today and it feels a
lot smoother. Moz is now my numero uno browser ('cept when web developing,
'cos 'view source' only ever gives me the source to the last 500 Server
Error I got - hmm ). The little padlock actually does things, and it works
too - I managed to log into sourcefarce for the first time with Moz, as well
as a couple of other secure sites (web email mostly).

It's not really much faster, doesn't seem to use less memory, but it _feels_
smoother and stabler. There seem to be less 'oddments', and it feels
altogether more polished.

Cheers,

Alex.

PS I was going to try Java on it, but the plugin seems to come to 15Mb ?? I
suspect they've gcc -static'd the whole jre :) Also, the link on the release
page doesn't seem to be correct - there seems to be no browser detection, so
you get taken to the Win32 module page, and the browser doesn't complain
when you start downloading (I only noticed from the URL). It's easy to guess
the Linux page (s/Win32/Unix\/Linux22/ IIRC) tho', but does seem a little
odd. Also, no flash plugin (at least, I couldn't get
http://www.mchawking.com/flash.html to play, and that's my current
'benchmark' - view it to see why :))
