What I marked in bold it's not exact...

Indeed, when you disable javascript (and as I said in another post I'm tending to do it often lately) you find that the page renders (that you can say browsing speed instead), quite faster.

Javascript is really a bottleneck on HTML render cause most of that HTML (and I must say XML too) is rendered only after a JS function is executed, commonly named AJAX. So, yes, javascript is a bottleneck.

Talking only about K-meleon, if you put 1.1.6 (which I'm still using) and 1.6 without javascript (and forgetting that 1.6 has fixes for HTML4 and supports part of new HTML5), their respective GRE engines are hand to hand.

Developers would say other thing and they would be correct, but, for the average users, with the above conditions, a page render is just a matter of milliseconds.

For the skins, you should make a suggestion for development. I agree with you. It should be a default toolbars.cfg instead a per skin toolbars.cfg to, at least, let the skins take the default layout for each skin. Then a profile toolbars.cfg to allow personal tweaks and override, then,  default ones.

In other words, standardize them.[/quote]
