@sjmulder @thisMattWilson yep. This is where my netbook meets it's match - common websites like discord, YouTube, etc. It plays YouTube videos just dandy, via mpv. Not via the browser. |
@thisMattWilson my impression is that heavy web sites are the real culprit, no matter how fast the rest of the system, that Pentium M is gonna choke on megabytes of JavaScript.
