Using VRPC on the iMac and NetSurf 2.9, the latest version that works
in that platform, the site renders in 1.3s, and reloads in 0.2s using
the old-fashioned cache. Firefox and Safari are all but instant on the
same iMac.

On the Raspberry Pi with NetSurf 3.3 #2600 the site takes 30s and even
then only renders in the cut down form. NetSurf 3.1, however, on the
Raspberry Pi 2 renders fully in 3.2s.
