mp900c and browser speed

Hey guys! I've been using my 900c and I was wondering about the browser speed. It seems slower than my 790.

I'm on hi speed cable using my pccard ethernet lan. It just seems to take a long time for the pages to load.

To me the 900c seems slow overall I don't have any extra programs in ram, I put them in the flash rom or on my storage card.

Any thoughts or tweaking advice?

TIA

mmm i once tested their browsers against each other (900c and 790). the 900c happily beat the 790... and the overall speed is better too.

do you have the default ram setup or did you change it?

i don't recommend running apps from the flash disk

+ disable window animation in the registry

If you want a better browser for the 900c, check out cmonex's thread about Opera 8.5 on the 900c, so far 8.6 has not been successful.. Besides, I love Opera.. Opera rules ..

Where do you turn off the animation? I looked thru thr reg, and didn't see the key.

HKLM/system/GWE - new dword, Animate, value 0 and soft reset

edit: or install smalltweak. it will also let you disable that darn card battery warning that comes up at every poweron!

I knew about the dword, and did that. It still seems to animate the windows.
I did the GlyphCache dword, and it helped the PIE times greatly.

well you need a soft reset to activate the disabling. it works for me. glypcache good idea, how high did you set it?

64000 IIRC.
I did the small tweaks install.

Did you ever get Opera 8.5 working to your satisfaction?

i'll try that 64000 too...

yes i usually use opera 8.5 on my 900c instead of IE6. use the wm5 version, the wm2003SE one is pretty picky about pages

problems are the memory leak (you have to close and restart opera after it reaches 41MB program memory in use), i guess that's because it's a beta, also clicking on links to open them in a new window isa little tricky but i already wrote about all this.

i wish 8.6 would run that wouldn't have any beta bugs

hmmmm do i understand right, you created the GLYPHCACHE key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\ and then created the Limit DWORD? i'm surprised this isn't there by default on my 900c.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GlyphCache- dword- limit value+64000. Was not in this one either.
It seems to have decreased the PIE load times by 20%-25%.
I'm going to buy a better quality cf card, 1 or 2 gig, and try moving the browser cache to the card.

i dont think moving the cache to card will help speeding things up further..

i will test this IE speed thing soon.. btw it is MSIE CE, not PIE.
