Speeding up KDE -- More Help Needed

[Macario Valle]

I do web design by cintract and have been using swiftbox to validate.  I
have found no major discrepancies when compared to firefox.  However, as
most surfers out there use ie, i still have to run ie4linux to check
that one.  One problem I have been having is that I am not sure how
trustfull ie4linux is when renderinng with the ie7 engine.
But that is not the point, anyways, swiftbox seems to use up to half the
memory with the same results.  I have had no complains on rendering from
my clients and I get to keep my sanity, not to mention a dozen other
windows opened.
