I don't know for sure, but I think this must have been fixed by rc2 (based on my current performance). I couldn't live with the IO thrashing in b5. I just downloaded the binary from mozilla.org and installed it under /usr/lib/firefox-3.0rc2 and changed the references in /usr/bin/firefox. My performance is *much* better now. Once they get an RPM out, I'll switch. But for now, I'm able to actually work. -b ----- Original Message ----- From: stan <goedigi89__e@xxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, 6/10/2008 2:19pm To: For users of Fedora <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Firefox 3 beta on Fedora 9 uses lots of IO after start stan wrote: > I'm running Fedora 9 with the Firefox 3 beta.
