Thank you, Ca3le, for the response. This problem appears to occur only in specific conditions, which I have not yet identified. On another computer Opera 19 (Chromium 32) works fine. I've also tried a window of 256960, and it didn't change how the "broken" Chromium behaved. Of course, reporting this on Opera forums (let alone Google's) would only lead to the recommendation to reinstall Windows, which is likely to "solve" the issue as a byproduct of resetting the offending setting along with everything else. I have hastily misread the SpeedGuide report because of the round value of 65K. Chromium does use scaling of 2 on the base value of 32768. This doesn't change the outcome though, but looks even more bizzare. In practice, a speed of 1 to 1.5 MB/s across the continent cannot be called "slow" by any standard. But it's less than it could be. For everone not familiar with the issue here, the TCP window defines how much unacknowledged data can be in transit, and a larger value increases throughput between geographically distant locations.

This one's an original (we have about 15 or so) from 1990. We broke up in late '95 and just got back together about 9 months ago.

That was recorded live in a bar in Wichita with a home reel-to reel recorder with two mics out on a table in the middle of the room. One of the band mates still had a cassette copy a couple of years ago and sent it to me. The tape was so old it had a few smudges in it, but it does still sound pretty good. HAH. I was 25 then. I'm 66 now and still sing and play that one out in the band I'm in now.

Wow, I had no idea. For the longest time Chrome worked best for me... but over the past year or so I've been having issues. The latest... a memory leak (or something) ... every so often on my iMac I'll see little square character looking artifacts around the screen. All blinking at the same rate, very faint... very odd. I run through and start closing programs to find what the cause is... get to chrome, close it and BAM, problem solved. I tax my other browsers just as hard and have never seen the odd behavior that chrome displays. (not just the artifacts... there's much more to it... it doesn't feel right lately) chrome used to handle everything for me but lately it's shown signs of weakness. I have faith that the developers will make it work better. That's a pretty major difference between your chrome and firefox. Guess you know which browser you should use now. -- from what I've seen firefox has always been a consistent performer, across all platforms.
