Hi;

I recently timed startups( on a *cold* boot ) for Mozilla 1.6 and
Firefox 0.8 on my system:

Mozilla : 18 seconds
Firefox: 10 seconds.

I am running:
- A P4 2.53 gigahertz processor
- 533 mhz front side bus
- 512 DDR Ram /sbin/hdparm -qd1 /dev/hdc
- a 10 gig partition ( of a 40 gig hard drive ) with:
- hd installed knoppix( debian ), mix of test, & unstable
- icewm
- a dmae enabled system.
- /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh has this line of code in it at the
bottom
/sbin/hdparm -qd1 /dev/hdc
- knoppix with icewm

So, my question is, given all of this information are my *cold* boot
startup times for the Mozilla browsers normal? Should I be getting
faster startup times?

Thanks in advance
