Its funny (and ironic to me given the topic) you mention Netscape and Apache. One of my first jobs out of college was rewriting an old LiveWire application (yes ... the original server side Javascript) to a JSP Tomcat application.

I forgot LiveWire existed. One of few that finally faded from memory. Of old & commercial ones, AOL server + a TCL web framework are still getting updated. Opera is getting redone. The product with the coolest name is still scraping by per .cfm pages I see. Some ancient tech still around but mostly going bye bye.

Only thing left is maybe to redo Mosaic in Ruby or Java to see if it's technically feasible to slow its rendering down any further.
