For this one, I just commented out the style rule for the "busy" throbber in the modern skin's navigator.css. With that, here's what I saw: ----- base/modern ----- 00008.391: ...main1 00008.125: ...main1 00008.000: ...main1 ----- noThrob/modern ----- 00008.125: ...main1 00008.141: ...main1 00008.109: ...main1 avg1=8.172000 avg2=8.125000 diff=0.047000 (0.575135%) ----- base/modern ----- 00008.032: ...main1 00008.172: ...main1 00008.109: ...main1 ----- noThrob/modern ----- 00008.203: ...main1 00008.125: ...main1 00007.984: ...main1 avg1=8.104333 avg2=8.104000 diff=0.000333 (0.004113%) ----- base/modern ----- 00008.094: ...main1 00008.172: ...main1 00008.078: ...main1 ----- noThrob/modern ----- 00008.000: ...main1 00008.078: ...main1 00008.078: ...main1 avg1=8.114667 avg2=8.052000 diff=0.062667 (0.772264%) Savings is slight, between ~0 and 0.77%. Combining overlays won't help this one. We could consider (if worth the savings), disabling the busy throbber till after the first page appears (or thereabouts). This might be a case where the savings actually comes *after* the first window appears so reducing this wouldn't buy us much, in reality. This may need further analysis.
