supposed to be strictly alpha, but Bon Echo is GREAT

I notice a big speed improvement on my computer, especially in scrolling (possibly some obscure config option enabled/disabled?

spell chckn bilt rite in!

"google suggest" type completions built into search bar! (had this via plugin but this way is much better)

browser session restore on crash! (haven't crashed it yet, but I bet it would work better than all the plugins I've tried)

mem usage is way down on windows

everything is shiny and worky and good! I like it lots!

P.S. http://wiki.mozilla.org/Microsummaries sound nifty too, but I haven't experimented yet and of course no web site supports them natively yet.

This month the beta version will (probably) be available. I'm certainly going to use it.

Memory usage is always around 90MB for me with 1.5.x, so the memory usage is down in the new version? That's another plus.

Is there anybody knows how can I close the spell checker in Bon Echo?
