    6.641... while retrieveing updates for a game at the same time.
    No idea if it's supposed to be good or bad, though.

    Anyway I guess the results depend a lot on your hardware too... since Firefox takes like 15 seconds to only start on my old K6/2 @ 350 MHz and runs almost instantly on my newest machine (Athlon 64 X2 4200+ ).

    I think the test is based on RAM cause i saved it locally and then loaded it and got the same results.......

    system capabilities will make a difference but your geographical location will as well as the the type and speed of internet connection you have.

    yes dude thats fair comment but many/most systems nowadays have more than ample ram but it gets wasted on unnecessary start up apps etc, a sytem will run quite quick on a lower amount of memory if that lower amount is not wasted.

    you been running that on 56mb ram for ages dude you must love to crawl along,myself i would switch anything on with less than 256,but even a 600 processor with 256 ram will run quick if you dont waste resources,get yourself on ebay mate and whack some more ram in that thing.
