To the maintainer(s) of firefox,

I am currently running firefox 0.9.3 on FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #3: Sat Jul 31 19:23:16 CST 2004.

What I am finding is that the whole user interface is *extremely* slow.

It takes forever to render pages; switch between tabs; find as you type;
clicking buttons; - really any user operation whatsoever.

Other people I know are finding the exact same behaviour on -CURRENT.

I have built world/kernel/ports and nothing seems to change.

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour ?

 - aW
