Re: browsers?
-----------------------------------
I have not tried the firefox version yet.  So far I am still using one of the slightly older stable releases.  Also I am using a copy that I compiled from sourcecode optimized with a some extra features, including debugging code and automated bug reports, disabled.  Perhaps that could be enough of a difference to make it not so slugish.  Most of the precompiled versions of Mozilla from their website have the debugging code turned on, resulting in a lot of extra internal sanity checks.  The sanity checks do slow down the rendering process.  Also, it seems to me that the debugging code tends to make the program less stable.

I see that the version that I am using is a couple of releases out of date.  You can find the most recent version of that series here: http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/
