That's assuming that what Netscape tells you is reliable
information. The right way to compare is to download two large files
with Netscape and then Lynx and compare the times. These tests will
tell you about throughput, but not latency. My gut feeling is that
Netscape has a much higher latency than Lynx, because of sheer
complexity.
