The turbo and kill options are useful, but you must understand how they
work.

These are both command line switches - i.e. if you want to use an icon,
you'll need to create it yourself.

The -turbo option loads certain DLL so that they stay in memory. When
you
then start Mozilla without any options, it loads quicker. Note -turbo
lets
the PROGRAM load quicker, it does not affect how long it takes to load a
particular web page - this depends on the speed of your internet link to
the site and the amount of data that has to be loaded.

You also need to understand the importance of the -KILL function - this
removes from memory those pre-loaded DLLS. In my experience, using Warp
4
at FP15, If I have used mozilla -turbo and not performed a mozilla -kill
system shutdown hangs ! I believe people using X-Workplace or
e-Comstation
don't have this problem as the shutdown procedure in these
configurations
is different.

Hope this helps,

Cheers/2
