Nov 24 build, raptor demo

1.  Launch xpviewer on NT or win95 machine, go to http://grok, and observe page
layout and especially time to do so....

•  Takes forever to layout just any ftp page.  Format is wrong as well but filed
as separate bug.  Non ftp pages scream in comparison, and NOVA of course screams
as well.  Need to fix for demo I believe.  Also noted virtual memory resources
are completely sucked away and grok would not run autoload sequence.  Will file
as separate bug, and if it is a dupe we can just mark it as such, but I want the
bases covered.

There is no way we can fix this for the developer release. It requires too many
changes to resolve. I have it *partially* fixed in my tree, but it is still
painfully slow (better than before).

I've removed the ss: tag, but left the bug alive.

I'm reassigning this to rickg for now: there is a parser bug on this page. Try
this simple test to see it in action. The parser is closing PRE sections when it
sees an HR. Bad bad parser... :-)

glynn, please check against latest Viewer build.  Reopen if still slow.
glynn, could you please Verify this today?  Thanks!
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Ok it looks fixed in Jan 19 build, in terms that initial ftp page layout is much
speedier than it was, but me thinks more work as mentioned below is to be done.
Will file new bugs for other items.  Verified on Win98.
