It's actually great that I can visit almost every website out there with Wayfarer. Superb.
But unfortunately, it's also frustrating how often you get slowed down while surfing and have to wait forever...
I appreciate all the time and work invested in this great project. If I had a wish: please check if there are any options to accelerate the browsing.
Maybe a query asking whether I want to load all content. And which content.
It's great when I can visit all the websites, but somehow also quite useless when it takes so long.
Currently MorphOS is very CPU hungry using Wayfarer, your best experience would be to pick up a PowerMac PCIX @2.7GHz or a PCIe@2.5 GHz, the raw power of the CPU and the Altivec capability drive MorphOS as fast as it can go currently.
I see those system under $200 and even $100, so it will be a cheap system. I recommend using 2 displays if you want to use it for productivity. There are some videos out there on the YT by Chris Edwards and others that can give you an idea of browsing performance on those systems.
YMMV, but I'm on wayfarer all day on my 2.5 PCIe PM and for most of my browsing is a nice experience for very intensive sites it will a burden.
Good luck!
