I did not perform any test ; but I _feel_that_ it is
the same or almost the same. I prefer 2.2.19 for that
machine as this one has only 16Mb RAM; and 2.4.12-ac2
is thrashing to death when only running netscape, but
2.2.19 is fine.

I will try tomorow when my friend is online ; we are
100Km away ... :-)
