Not to "beat a dead horse", but I use Firefox on a Linux workstation and my 
Internet access is SBC/ATT DSL at 2Mb/sec - and Mentec's site is snappy and 
displayed accurately.

I suspect one's observation of "performance" depends more on the BW of your 
ISP's "pipes" and how many nodes away you are - than Mentec's website...
