I tried running a stock install locally and it was faster. I can't be more
precise than that; faster enough that I could see a difference. But that
may just be the difference between running locally and running in AFS. I
still want to try putting a Mozilla-built install into infoagents and
seeing if there's an actual difference in performance due to build
environment. I don't expect there to be.

Bob, if the stock Sun Mozilla hung during start-up the most likely cause
is that it couldn't find those GTK libraries. I imagine you checked that,
but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
