To look at one 1280x1024 photo, links2 in svga mode uses 2.1% of my 512MB, 
dillo uses 1.3% but Xvesa another .8% (and icewm .2.)  Links2 in X 
probably does not use much more (I seem to have messed up two consoles 
testing so cannot check right now).

links2 with ssl for BL3 X is 3.7MB.

dillo 8 is 330K but the dependencies add up to over 3MB, and it does not 
do frames or SSL or any javascript.

I tested Dillo 0.8.0.  0.8.6 has switched to FLTK2 (a 2.5MB source 
download).  Should I post it with dillorc?  (Do you know if 8.5 is also 
FLTK2?).  FLTK is supposed to be much faster but with a dialup connection 
I would not notice.

I have not been able to compile much for libc5 - lots of error messages 
about things missing.  If you add a few libraries from glibc of SW81 you 
can use what I compiled and also Opera.

Dillo ('8 years old') is newer than Slackware 4 (1999).
I could not find it precompiled for libc5 but they tweaked a few 
things so it would compile, they say.

I compiled elinks but it does not work right with 2.2 kernel.
I compiled some small 2.4.31 kernels.

bzimlsfu.431 for laptops supports framebuffer (xfbdev)
