Explorer Sucks the Life out of Me!
I remember seeing that recently on one of these sites and it's true. IE5 absolutely STOPS background processes/applications. Using SoundJam 1.6 on my g4 450 320MB RAM, conversions go at about 5x running in foreground. Using Navigator with SJ in the background I get 4.8x as I am typing this message. Running IE5, SJ goes down to .2x then stops COMPLETELY.
So much for cooporative multitasking.
I'm sticking with Netscape.
