I've tried the brandnew Firefox 2.0 Release parallel to 1.5.0.7 from:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0/
Very fast rendering with the 2.0 version. Faster as with Fedora
1.5.0.7-7.fc6. Resizing windows and web rendering is wonderful faaaaast.
The upstream builds disable a few key features that we enable, and they
do a static build instead of linking everything dynamically. Comparing
Fedora builds to upstream builds is not fair at all. Besides, I've run
the two. It's not really that much faster. The overhead in the Fedora
packages is primarily because we install a bunch of langpacks.
