It's not just on a system like that. Earlier this week I got my first SGI
system, a nice little O2. It's about the crappiest of the O2's, but it's
still a *very* nice UNIX workstation. I thought that it was doing OK at
surfing until yesterday when I wanted to check something on gamespot, it
absolutly crawled to a halt trying to render the pages (well the browser
did, the rest of the system was nice and responsive). I swear it took close
to 10 minutes to get to the third page (the one that had the data I was
curious about).

I think I'll now run the browser on my Linux box and retarget it to the
SGI's desktop (at least until I get an Octane).
