Fellow Debianers, I have been using Firefox 3.5 since its earlier betas, and although javascript has been considerably faster than with 3.0, rendering of pages and especially dragging and dropping on web pages was still painfully slow in some cases.
I work in the development of a web based reporting application that has recently had implemented a WYSIWYG formatter that makes extensive use of javascript for drag-n-drop interactions. This page is blazingly fast on FF/Windows and Safari, and even on Arora on Linux, but Iceweasel/FF on Linux was painful to use. Now, with Iceweasel 3.5, things work quite alright. Not perfect -- Arora/Webkit is still a bit faster -- but I can actually use the interface. That leads me to two things. First one: kudos to the Iceweasel team for releasing a Firefox better than the actual Firefox! :D Second one: anyone knows where this speed boost comes from? Cheers to you all!
