Summary: If you have used Firefox on both Windows and Linux you might have realised that it is much slower on Linux than on Windows, and it often hang when there is heavy HDD IO operation in the background, this is due to sqlite behaviour (fsync fetish). This article says that we can optimize the database to make Firefox faster, I still have some doubt but it might worth a try. If this problem is solved then the only one problem left for firefox is its single threading JS (and Flash too) that can cause the whole browser to hang when processing some heavy JS. I have read somewhere that this problem is partially solved in Firefox 3.5 though. Ph??ng. -- C?p c?p c?p
