    For useing GITHub (and more) in OWB install following scripts here: https://git.walkero.gr/walkero/odyssey-scripts.

    I think main problem for speed is leaking outsourceing 3D-calc to graphicsprocessor. Correct me, if I'm wrong......

    I believe this is mostly due to Linux being far more capable in networking in general. MorphOS TCP/IP stack does have some serious performance issues. This problem has been known for a long time but the root cause isn't easy to figure out. It could be the network drivers, the SANA2 interface between the drivers and TCP/IP stack, or the TCP/IP stack itself, or any combination of above.

    It's more about 2D than 3D. The latter would mean WebGL, which is another topic altogether and not required by most sites.

    I realise now what the issue might have been, well it's the only, sort of, logical reason I can come up with . . .

    I had been using v4.4, which I was having loading issues with, and then reverted back to using v4.3, which I seem to remember also had a few (fewer) HTTP/2 issues, and then just installed/loaded v4.5, prior to any reboot, and probably the issues I had been encountering with v4.4 and v4.3 were still within/affecting my networking/system.

    So, loading v4.5 prior to a cold reboot seems to have still been influenced by the earlier versions. The issues I was encountering do now seem to have been 'flushed' from my system, and v4.5 is working as it seems everyone else is finding, a big improvement over v4.4. :-)

    Frankly, a while back you could not login as a member to ebay.co.uk with OWB, but it seems now it works, even the recaptcha image security panel can be completed, though the selling page does not render as it should, but it's nice to know it can be used as a stop-gap, if required. 8-D

    I should also add that from my own perspective, I owe a debt of gratitude, that I will never likely to be able to fully repay, to you both - jacadcaps & Piru, and anyone else (including jPV) involved in working on/testing Wayfarer, and even though I have donated a few times I feel I would not be as content with MorphOS unless we had a web-browser as capable as Wayfarer on MorphOS - so I am really grateful to you for all your efforts, I just wanted to say it, as such comments often go unsaid. 8-D

    That sounds more like you were actually running 4.4. Anyway, I'm glad it's working for you now.

    I'm not so sure that speed is only a net-device problem. When Wayfarer does internal work and uses CPU to 100% (which is often the case and takes sometimes up to 1 min) there is no activity on network (or device?) during this time......

    Of course it is not. Often people are talking about different performance issues, and happily mixing them. So when we're talking about something like HTTP2 test being slow, it is likely very different from some web page loading being slow due to sudden periods of high CPU usage.

    I was in specific talking about the HTTP2 demo pages loading slow.

    What happens on an AmigaOS-like scheduler when something takes up the CPU time in the foreground, is that the background tasks are neglected. Network connections will time out and all sorts of stuff. Linux doesn't need to worry about that as it's designed from absolute core to be a server OS.

    Piru completely overhauled MorphOS memory handling for Wayfarer, which was just insufficient before. Intuition and MUI too, possibly. Now it's becoming obvious scheduler and network stack need updated too.

    Are we all beginning to understand what processes drove the development of other operating systems to be "bloat" yet? :-)

    Absolutely correct, it is not. That's why Piru in comment #1198 mentioned as much as 5 distinct areas where our current combinations of hardware and software are lacking when it comes to web browsing, one area of which is network driver/stack.

    I've already mentioned a workaround here a couple of times. Use a local socks5 proxy.

    And not only the hot fix, but the library itself.

    I am running MOS 3.17 on a G5 mac. I've been running Wayfarer 2.10. but have been updating some apps and installed Wayfarer 4.6 and now 4.7. I received the openssl3.library warning yesterday and installed it. However, now neither 4.6 or 4.7 series is working for me. It first opens into a minute window (not the usual splash screen). When the app window opens it shows the web address in the top bar but doesn't render anything in the page below. How can I help you troubleshoot this?

    Many thanks.

    @ Mach - Did you install the cgxvideo.library into the usually forbidden MOSSYS:Libs from about version 2.7 of Wayfarer as that may be causing the issue you are experiencing. ;-)

    @Mach

    Does the same happen if you download and extract the new wayfarer.lha and run directly from the extracted folder? It sounds as if all of Wayfarer’s data files were missing.

    Please note that we've identified a regression with socks proxies support. If you need this, please stay on 4.5 for now.
