yes, that's true. but nothing was ever conclusively determined about it,
and, if it was slower, i'd say that the RSS thing is probably a good
guess as to why. I don't think any serious performance hacks have
been done on the shared lib code...
The other thing is, me saying something "seemed slow" doesn't really
say much, because of the varying load on sun-lamp (which is used
for development, in addition to mail, ftp, and sup...). its load
tends to be rather high, and my comments could have reflected that...
(example: i just put in 16M more RAM. when i booted it and things
got going 12M more RAM were considered "active" -- which meant
that it was swapping a *lot*...)
