You can change the number of hits per page from the default of 10 clear up to 100 and save these as a cooky so it is remembered next time. When I was using Firefox in Windows with this setting at 100, it made the google pages much easier to use and FireFox loads pages so quickly. I would think this would be advantagious with a text browser too.
