So, nothing useful, then?

Jon, could you quantify 'poor performance' a bit? Was the entire app
slow, or were certain operations - hostname resolution, for instance? -
slow? Was it thrashing the disk, or the CPU? Are we talking slow
_interaction_ - buttons taking a long time to respond, slow scrolling -
or slow _retrieval and rendering_ of page content? Just 'poor
performance' seems a bit general.
