Is it faster? One of my complaints is that Arachne is quite sluggish, even considering this is a diminutive little 486DX/40. If 1.90j1 is speedier, that's definitely a plus.

At least for old-5k00l browsers, they usually implemented item type 7 in HTML as <isindex>. Naturally they don't do that anymore but I remember that being the case for pre-Mozilla Netscape, at least. I don't know if Arachne does that internally or not (haven't looked at the generated source and I'm at work right now).
