Funny avatar! Come to think of it I haven't seen the wolf sniffing around our backsides here in this KF thread in a while. I guess he finally got bored... I did read an article that said his beloved Sony rated at the bottom of the list as far as very poor customer service goes, and another article that said that Sony posted yet another yearly loss. Perhaps he rent his clothes, put on sack cloth, and smeared himself with ashes to lament his beloved's woes!
One of the first things many of us discovered very early on was that the Silk accelerator was actually more of a brake. If you look at the Tips thread you will see how we said to turn it off and speed up Silk substantially. There are other settings which make Silk better as well, also listed in the Tips thread.
