Hi, I'm noticing that what I think is a flash presentation in firefox-bin on my 3GHz Gentoo AMD64 machine is *significantly* slower, like 10x slower, than the same page coming up on my 1.6Ghz Athlon XP machine running Win XP.
If I go to the following page http://www.investools.com/ then what I see is a green arrow filling up for about 10 seconds while this presentation loading. On the XP box it's essentially instantaneous. I cleared cache and restarted the browser on both machines to make the comparison. Granted, I don't care about this stuff on the front page but there is stuff inside the website that I need which is also 5-10x slower on my Gentoo machine than on Win XP which makes using Gentoo pretty much out of the question. I'm not sure the stuff inside is actually flash - it's static charts, etc., some of which are done with Java I think. Do any others see this same slow response on the front page? I'm using a newish flash although I haven't sync'ed in a day or two so maybe something else is out there.
