I have: it's great. I used OMI (Oberon/Object Module Interchange--an old
name for slim binary) on old version of Macintosh Oberon (4.1F). It gives
you choice between two sets of same modules: normal object file and slim
binary. Slim binary modules load (or compile on-the-fly) and run as fast
as the normal ones; and they are a lot smaller. I have experienced little
noticeable degradation in any way, and I ran it on Mac LC, m68020 16MHz.
I have not yet tried Netscape add-ons.


Check out the home page of Prof. M. Franz, the creator of OMI/Slim Binary:
