There are many grandfathers that get into the "my browser runs this
benchmark 100ms faster than yours" arguments. A working UI (which
Mozilla lacks in many areas) that's easy to use (one of Mozilla's
strengths) is important. I think one reason Opera isn't more popular is
the abominable UI (although a lack of distribution deals would keep it
from coming close to Netscape or IE in marketshare no matter how good it
was). Having the features end users want is important. Slight speed
differences here and there aren't that important. There are only a
couple of areas in Mozilla where performance might justify delaying 1.0,
and that's only if the work that's already nearing completion doesn't do
the job.
Since you're evidently running Mozilla on a horribly slow system, I'd
recommend trying a newer build (after the interruptable parser code was
enabled) before continuing.

I've often thought intelligence agencies should recruit idiots, as
idiots seem able to infiltrate any group in large numbers.
