Still Firefox from Fedora Core 3 compared to mozilla nightly downloaded
from mozilla.org is about 2x slower loading this page:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050326 - about
9 seconds
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323
Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1 - about 19 seconds
Is such a difference expected?
Am I comparing apples to oranges (very recent nightly build vs. stable
release/mozilla vs. firfox)?

Dariusz
