What can I do to improve the speed with which I access MythNET?
The following suggestions may help to enhance the performance of MythNET: • Check your modem to ensure it is at least 14.4bps, our minimum requirement. • Turn your graphics off–an option most browsers provide. This will significantly reduce the download time of graphics-rich pages by displaying only their text. (Some browsers–such as Netscape 1.1 or above–allow you to defer image loading until after the text has displayed. While this doesn’t improve overall speed, it does offer the text while images download.) Generally, you will find that we try to minimize the size of our graphics to reduce download time. • Clear your disk and memory caches. Also, check your memory cache setting to ensure it’s no greater than 25 percent of your computer’s total RAM. • Close any applications you are not using to increase the amount of RAM available to your browser. • Decrease your browser’s verification frequency. If using Netscape, for example, set your cache preferences to verify one time per ses
