I have timed the Mozilla startup on the Pentium I 233Mhz machine today. 
It was 18sec instead of my estimated 8sec. So the startup time was much 
better in my memory than it really was ;-) But it is much more usable 
than the milestone releases have been on the same "lesser" machines. But 
this is also only a subjective impression I still have in my head ;-)
