“On the ftp servers nightly builds from new Mozilla Roadmap
branch have just appeared, wchich probably means that during this
month new Mozilla release 0.7 should become a fact. According
to the Mozilla Roadmap it should have been done in the third
quarter of last year, but.. nobody’s perfect. Now we hope that it
will be worth to wait for it.”
“You can check what’s wrong with the current builds of mozilla.
Seems like lot’s of unused code lies down there..”

“Right off the bat I found 6 dlls that are loaded but use less than
5% of the code. 2 of them are mail and should not have loaded on
startup. If you add them up they add up they are 54,442 lines of
essentially unused code. Plus the overhead of loading 6 DLLs.
Seeing that gkhtml.dll is our largest DLL by far at 142,745 lines.
This is 1/3 the number of lines in the ENTIRE layout dll! This
definitely low hanging fruit and we would save quite a bit just by
not loading these DLLs. Or just creating 1 DLL that contains what
is needed to start up.”
