If you are on an OC fiber, news7 should blow away news3.
I'm on FiOS, and news3 takes 4sec, news7 3sec, so roughly a 25% improvement.
I also noticed that you took out the call to clear_screen(), which I suppose doesn't matter on Windows, but does when you run it as a console program (on Windows or Linux).

FiOS is Verison, i wouldn't trust anything they advertise. What was your download speed during the test? With over 2000 calls to socks.e to see "is there data yet?", news7 should have been much faster than news3, news7 is idle so much more of the time.
Yes, i removed clear_screen() from news, it wasn't in the timing frame, and the dosbox starts cleared anyhow. I did add clear_line(), which is in the timing frame in search_url().
