I'm no expert on Camino but it seems to move faster than Safari and 
Firefox.
I have half a gig of RAM but my G-4 is only 400Mhz and can't complain 
about the speed of any of the three.

Firefox is fine for me as I 'share' it with my winboxes, but I'd go with 
Camino if I had to pick one for 'just the Mac'.

Alas, a neat add-on *was* CamiTools
...but it appears to not work beyond 1.0.

A trick for slow mail client is to 'compress' the folders to a tiny size 
& often...I suspect a large cache for a browser might load up frequently 
visited pages from the drive quicker than fetching data from the web.
