Thanks... but it looks like Pango use was definitely disabled. (the env var is set in ~/.bashrc). It still feels slower than before the recent firefox update though. I'm biting my tongue a bit, because FC5 has been a complete mess from my point of view. Broken sound card, GTK/GNOME performance plummeting with the introduction of Cairo, Evolution still crashing regularly when I quit while using the "Empty trash folders on exit" option. I've been an RH user since 1999, but I'm giving serious consideration to switching to another desktop and another distro. Anyway... thanks for the advice.
