Hi everybody, hope this message doesn't come out like a troll.
I'm just wondering why some Plan 9 programs seem to act so slowly.
Acme news is incredibly sluggish, and page takes far longer to display
an image or a doc page than it has any right to. Admittedly, this is
running on a PII machine, but even on one of those, I expect better
performance. Hell, my 486 was better at displaying images.

John
