Gary and list:
So, if running the browser in private mode allows a web page to load
faster; what does that tell us?
At times, I have disabled graphics in the browser and that action speeds up
the loading, as well.
It also seems that different browsers and different versions of the same
browser have had different loading speeds for the same web page.
So, it seems to me that the issue is not as simple as saying that the screen
reader is the cause; it's more complex than that.

Actually I saw this in action.its done with private browsing.there is a you
tube clip of it.so when you have private browsing on in firefox latest
versions it load pages in 3.5 seconds compare when its not in private
browsing mode where pages like anything that we load, will load in 7.5
seconds.that is what they are talking when they are comparing firefox
version to chrome version.

When you say "virtual buffer" are you talking about the off screen model
because I thought screen readers like NVDA and Orca don't use an off screen
model so this wouldn't contribute to any slowness in pages being loaded with
those screen readers. I'm also curious how a Mozilla developer can do
something to make web pages load faster with a screen reader. I'd think that
would have to be done in the screen reader.
