What does that have to do with anything? Whenever someone complains that Mozilla brought down their entire X-windows session, it's usually Linux. The issue is not an OS issue, but a Mozilla issue. The slowness happens on Mac too. Oops, the "it's the OSs fault" excuse for not fixing broken applications didn't work. There's already bugs on slow windows.
