this is firefox-3.1-0.11.beta3.fc11.x86_64, running pretty much out
of the box on a fresh install of f11 beta x86_64, with the 64-bit
adobe flash player installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and that's
all.
i just started FF and am not doing *anything* with it -- it's just
sitting there, and top reports that that single invocation of FF is
using 103.3% CPU, while multiple invocations of seamonkey are taking
up a total of 3.3%.
i'm not the only person who's reported on this -- firefox is just
horribly, horribly slow. i just switched virtual desktops to check on
that one FF window, and what i get is a FF-sized window that still
contains the content from the previous virtual desktop -- my system
isn't even capable of refreshing the FF window, while seamonkey just
zips right along.
others might not be seeing this, but at the moment, FF is unusable
for me.
