7/14    Any ideas on why Mozilla/Firefox/etc is so slow on OSX? Even Camino,
        "designed from the ground up for OSX," is really bad.
        \_ Slow? FF seems as fast as Safari to me. Load time is slower than
           Safari, but once it is loaded I can't really tell any difference.
           \_ Did you try resizing the browser window?  That was where I
              noticed the big difference.  I'm on a recent G4 Powerbook
              running 10.3.x.
                \_ I loaded the same http://amazon.com page in FF and Safari
                   just now and tried resizing the page. Both FF and
                   Safari seem to resize at about the same speed on
                   my iBook G4 (800 MHz model).
                   \_ Odd. Which OS version are you running?
                      \_ 10.3.4. I have 640 mb of ram, maybe that
                         is the difference? BTW, resizing isn't
                         that fast, its just that they are both
                         about the same speed.
        \_ Why is everything so slow in OSX?
           \_ Heh.  Ever done a side by side comparison of OSX with any
              other GUI?  Lynx doesn't count, nerdling.
              \_ OSX is sure slow, compared it to the previous Mac GUI,
                 compared it to Win2K, compared it to WinXP, compared it
                 to X on Solaris and Linux. OSX is just damn slow.
                 \_ If you are running anything other than twm on
                    Linux/Solaris, there is no way that I can buy
                    your story that the GUI is faster. BTW, when
                    they add features like print to pdf and Expose
                    to X11, lets see how fast it is.
