Firefox starts in about 2.5 seconds for me too. > well, i have a 1.2ghz duron, 384mb ram and a 4.3gb fujitsu harddrive running with UDMA66 and a 20gb maxtor drive with UDMA100. curiously, firefox takes about 10-12 seconds to load. (earlier today it took 20+ seconds and i was quite shocked). HOWEVER, i ran mozilla 1.6-something and it took only 3-4 seconds to load! the only excuse i can see for this is that i compiled firefox on release-5.2 and mozilla after release-5.2.1(only because of that damn mplayerplug-in, too :/) also when i compiled firefox i didn't have CPUTYPE=athlon set in /etc/make.conf, it was compiling with the default pentiumpro it seems. could that really affect load times that much? - ryan
