Gansangriff Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I have experienced big speed differences with Windows 98 and Windows XP on the same hardware, but that was with some other program. It was a compiler for programming scripts, which was 20 times slower on all Win98 systems. The compiler's author thought, that allocating and freeing small amounts of memory would be slow in Win98 (as it wasn't required that much back then). Maybe something similar shows us, that the developers at Microsoft made at least some progress with Vista, Win7... Consindering the browser setup, definetly get rid of scripts for some fine browsing on slow hardware (surely enable scripts for some exceptions). You can use addons like the old Noscript V5 for that. I have a good time here with a single-core Pentium 3 from 2001, using New Moon (No-SSE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
