is there any way to sotp the news ticker?, its kool and stuff, but it really slows down my Netscape for some reason.

Would yo uguys think of putting in a stop button to stop it, or maybe try to get it to assign itself a low priority thread so it doesnt put up a fight for cpu time?

I am not sure if it is possible to set a lower priority to any page/frame opend with a browser ...
but there might be a way to make a disable function for the newsticker. I will look into this issue.
If you have any suggestions post ...

I set my Outpost Firewall to content-block "newsticker.shortnews.de" - Crude but effective!
If nothing better, you could try the HOSTS file to block it

I found the same thing, caused a considerable slowdown.

It MAY be the Java Engine - the IBM version is supposed to be a more optimized compile than SUN's, and a lot more up to date than the Microsoft one I'm using with IE.
