Celeron? BAH! They need to kill that beast.
In openSuse, on a not so slow machine ;) running KDE, Firefox 3.5.5 with only the cookie monster plugin activated, I noticed a slight lag in the mootools sample. Some of this perceived speed difference may be a direct result of plugins, or proxy issues in the browsers themselves. The biggest noticeable changes were 2 to 3 and 4 to 1. The direct vertical and horizontal slides were fine in both jQuery and Mootools.
