The reports so far seem to be pretty consistent that people who are using 1.0.4 have reasonable render times. People who are using 1.0.6 from Fedora have horrible render times. As for hardware, I'm not sure how relevant it is given that almost every other browser (including Firefox on Windows via VMWare AND Firefox downloaded from mozilla.org) running on the same hardware performs at least 4 times better than the Firefox from Fedora Core. HOWEVER, here goes anyway: Video : Nvidia GEForce 5900 XT 128MB Nvidia driver version 1.0-7664 (I should update this) acceleration enabled according to Xorg.0.log res 1600x1200 CPU : Intel Xeon 1500 Mhz (1-cpu) RAM : 2 GB RDRAM MB : Dell board with Intel 860 PCI/AGP chipset I know I need to upgrade but 40-50+ seconds to render a page? No way :-) Cheers, Raman
