[RWP] Can it be; Things Seem to Run more Reliably on NVDA?

[Alex H.]

Get the Status-4-Evar  addon which does almost nothing for us, but
does bring visual loading and a status bar back for NVDA to beep in
FF. Had it in there so long I forgot it was there, and had to look.

Agree, NVDA is a lot faster than those other solutions. Not saying
it's more powerful, but people can always start hacking in python to
bring some of that packing power. Just a thought. :)
