Even just the report that it "feels" better is useful; the performance I'm expecting should be more easily "felt" than benchmarked.
There's not anything specific I can ask you to test. I'm mainly looking for 2 things: 1. If you have pages you don't like to visit in camino due to beachballs or processor usage, could you visit them and see if things have improved? Not coincidentally, most of mine are flash intensive. For example, Camino slows my machine down when I visit this page without the patch but doesn't when I visit with the patch: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail118.html 2. Let me know if you see any areas where this fix degrades your everyday browsing experience. So running it as you do normally is *very* helpful :-) Thanks a lot!
