Thanks to all for the responses. I will try the suggestions given on
both pointsand report back.
As for Christoph's comment about webkit: yes,
I've not only checked out webkit,
but I've built chromium+webkit from source.
It's really unbelievable what has
been done here. It's either a testament to their
lack of ability at software
architecture or to the mess that the web has become.
I suspect it's a bit of both.
