WinMosaic uses a lot of memory, and the amount used seems to increase drastically
as the size and/or complexity of the document grows. And yes, running on a 386-SX
is agonizing. Remember, it _is_ alpha...
Have a look at WinWeb from EINet. Info at:
http://galaxy.einet.net/EINet/WinWeb/WinWebHome.html
It is small, it is smooth, it is fast, and it is reasonably stable. It does not
handle forms properly yet, however, but it shows a lot of promise. It's also in
alpha phase.
