"Performance issues" could many a myriad of things. Is it slow to
render, or slow to load the data? Or slow to update as you scroll
through the page? Can you give an example of a page that behaves poorly
in your case and describe how it behaves poorly? Does it behave in the
same fashion when you're viewing a local copy of the docs (served via a
local webserver versus just loaded as files is a difference to test,
too), or just when you're viewing them on djangoproject.com?

Django's docs pages are generally very lightweight HTML and total
content is fairly well set up for taking advantage of caching. There are
a few CSS rules that could be written differently to give greater
performance, but none of them are particularly tragic, given the lack of
reflows that go on in the page (they are static pages, by and large).
We're certainly better in this respect than a vast majority of websites
out there.

If we have a situation that is a genuine example of Firefox regression,
it would be good to know so it can be reported to the Firefox team or
fixed on our side if it's a legitimate problem. Right now, the problem
reports from this thread are a little light on those things we like to
call "specific details".

For the record, I'm using Firefox 3.5.2 on Fedora 11 and don't notice
any problems reading the docs (although I don't have Adblock installed).
