Umm.. I actually said 10 seconds, not 20. I'm on a 512k DSL line and it
is quite usual for pages to take 10 seconds to completely render. The web
is not the most low-latency way of transfering data - using the web
involves opening many TCP connections per page and the TCP session setup
alone takes time (in the order of 200 or more milliseconds per connection
on a DSL line). Either way, it's still *WAY* slower than just hitting
page down in PINE, which gives me the next 20-odd messages immediately.

Most != all.
