First, Firefox is very slow and it eats up very much RAM and CPU resources. It's irritating to see Firefox working very sluggisly even on a modern PC (3 GHz, 1GB ). I suppose you really need put more work in xul(?) performance optimizations. Take a look at Opera, Konqueror or Internet Explorer. Isn't the performance difference more than obvious? (I mean the gui and rendering speed on Linux platform). | First, Firefox is very slow and it eats up very much RAM and CPU resources.
