Firefox 3 Performance

[Kills On Site]

Has anyone else noticed Firefox 3 performing much slower than FF 1 or 2 in Windows XP? Just wondering if its me or if FF3 is more bloated or slower than previous versions. What do you guys think?

Yep I'm seeing poor performance and especially poor responsiveness from FF3.

Considering rolling back to a previous version.

One of the main reasons I dislike using IE is having to wait a few seconds for a blank tab to open... FF always had that one over on IE, but the current version is slow to do the same now.

Seems fine for me. I actually feel that page rendering to be a little faster than FF 3.0.

Windows Vista x64, Firefox 3.5.1

Works fine for me as well.

Win7 x64, FF 3.5.1

Perfectly fine here

FF 3.5.1 + OpenDNS on Vista 32-bit

im running 3.5.1 and its fast as hell.
.1 fixed a bug in the Windows build making it faster on startup, might wanna check that out.

3.5.1 is a pig

I did some googling and most complaints are with XP, people with Vista and 7 have no issues. Anyone else with XP notice this besides me and Foo?

- XP @ work
dual core PentiumD 3.2 GHz, 3 GB RAM
taking all sorts of memory and CPU

I'm on 7.

Running on a netbook, though, so low RAM. IE's edging out FF for speed on this setup right now, which is a first.

I'm also have it on a netbook as well. Win7/Ubuntu. Runs fine, though it has 1.5GB RAM, which isn't that bad.

[MKJ]

im on XP, as said no problems
