It´s really long to render the RH list. Takes here only 2-3 sec.
Type "about:config" in the url bar and you see options to edit. Maybe
"network.http.pipelining" in your config gives more speed on some servers.
And with "about:buildconfig" you see the default compiler options.
Firefox is not really optimized for a fast system. You can recompile
firefox with -O2 and maybe sse/sse2 CPU flags. Then firefox speed is a lot
faster as the default "slower" firefox from the distributions... -Os
throttles om my amd64 system. :(
