To be honest, at the glance I had of it, it didn't appear to be
significantly or obviously different from the 1.5 port.  It crashed
several times while doing something trivial, too.  But this is not
surprising considering it appears to be a very early effort.  I suspect
that Dave showing it was a somewhat last-minute arrangement as he freely
admitted that he wasn't too sure about anything about it.  It was still
too slow IMO to be usable, although Dave also said that his Iyonix did
appear to be running slowly today.

I was manning the NetSurf stand for quite a while, and what routinely
surprised me was the number of people who were surprised that NetSurf was
free of charge.  There were also several people interested in upgrading
from Webster XL, asking if we do a competitive upgrade :)  I'm sure they
were quite thoroughly shocked when they learnt that it was free, and just
how much faster it is than WebsterXL.
