I'd look at RAM issues. I'm using FF 2.0 on Slack 11 and it's very
responsive.

Seriously, I'm wondering how people run this browser. I have it on a
Duron 950MHz with 768MB of PC100 SDRAM. Ok so it's not a speed demon.
Other programs don't have an issue with it. The only reason I'm
going to upgrade the hardware is because of Firefox! It's just FF
that runs slow as can be. I run extensions, but as I recall, the same
issue occurs when I fire up the blank profile with no extensions. I'm
so frustrated. Does anyone have a miracle cure or tip on performance?
