Is this the "Viewpoints" pull down on WebSpace?

David, I have a question for you. Why is Webspace so dang slow? I can
just image everyone else's performance but Im on a barely loaded Indigo/2
with Extreme graphics, 128MB of ram, 2000MB of swap and I set up a 30MB ram
and disk cache in netscape and it still crawls, even on a 6 or 8MB VRML.
