I think your hw is just too weak. I've got an amd64x3 w/4G RAM, and it
is definitely showing the strain that Mozilla products put on it
I did just fire up Firefox on a little i7 laptop I recently got -- dual
core, hyperthreaded i7 chip, 8G RAM (and a tiny SSD). wow, I don't
recall firefox coming up that fast in quite some time. Guess I need to
replace my desktop now.
