i see that http://www.trailerlife.com/cforum/ is running on
Microsoft-IIS/7.0..

i've heard (but never actually seen hard evidence) that since both the
browser AND operating system of the user (you and me) can be seen by
the web server (in this case Microsoft-IIS/7.0) that server gets to
decide exactly HOW FAST to feed out the bits needed to SEE the site on
your screen...

you DO know that the web server gets that, right? take a look here:

SO, if Steve Balmer wants to "bury Linux" do you really think he tells
his programmers to feed bits and bytes to Firefox on Linux as fast as
to Internet Exploder??

well...the bottom line is: don't blame your Linux for the slowness of
Trailer Life....just use M$-Crapware to go there...and, you can
tell'em how slow they are serving to non-M$ users (like they might care)..
