Hello,

Patched (all standard MS security & update patches, up to Oct 01) Win98SE
with IE 5.00.3314.2100 (256Mb RAM) lost approx 3% CPU (Celeron 466/66) over
10 minutes in both instances - not too shabby considering the amount of
rubbish I tend to run in the bg on this box...haven't tested with other
boxes and/or OS's though.
