I have to respond to this, because it's a pretty common complaint.
Mozilla's not quite yet at version 0.8. If you look at the roadmap, now's when the optimisation type stuff starts getting done - most, if not all, of the feature work is now done. So I'd expect to see it get way faster, real soon. Whether Netscape should have based their 6.0 browser on the version they did is questionable - Mozilla's roadmap advises 0.9 for people who are wanting to base browsers on their code.
Yup. I've been using the daily builds, and the Feb13th build is quite superlative. _*MUCH*_ faster than .7 even dreamed about. Although, there is a problem with the back button in teh Zope Management Interface (spits javasript errors to stdout, and just sits there). Bill
