Folks, I seem to have a strange problem on both my tablets (N800 & N810 running latest Diablo SSU).
Over the past few weeks, through the various 0.3 updates, and now 0.3.1, I had a feeling that Tear was getting progressively slower all the time, after the initial impression of blazing speed.
At first I though I was just getting used to the new performance level and impatient for more (like going from 770 to N800 :-), and I read from others here about sluggishness in loading images with certain versions of libwebkit, so I guessed my experience was consistent with everyone else's.
Lately however, surfing with Tear has become unbearably slow and almost unusable. What finally tipped me off is that I realized there was no perceptible difference any more between using a 3G connection on the go and using my own Wifi at home...
Finally I resorted to firing up microb again, which I hadn't done in a good while, and that gave me a shock : on the same sample of pages, microb is now many times faster than Tear, to the point of feeling snappy !
This is totally backwards... any idea what could have caused this situation on both my tablets ?... :-)
