I don't even have to measure in my system to see that there's something wrong: the difference is really drastic here. Slashdot, which you mention as a similar-looking page, is fast, but I don't think that that's the right comparison, because even thought the "looks" are similar, their code might not be. On the other hand, the puzzling thing is that macslash.org is quite slow under Linux, while it is much faster in Windows, with the same versions of Firefox (yes, the Windows version was taken from Mozilla.org and the Linux version was taken from Debian). Perhaps there's a difference in optimizations used during compilation or, say, the GTK 2 is really slow and macslash.org "forces" Firefox to use more widgets than slashdot.org? I sincerely don't know, but surely this is confusing as we both discovered.
