It's just an online site from mcAffe:

Nothing real professional or anything. I know that Netscape isn't a 
speed demon  but I thought that OS X on a 600MHz machine would run 
faster than OS 9.2.2 on a 400MHz machine....It just seems like a huge 
discrepancy that the iBook would be only about half as fast as my old 
desktop 7300  Haven't had a chance yet to check out the TCP/IP 
settings. Too many emails this morning!
