JS loading is slow in FF, but the real killer is anything DOM related. On large pages this is measured in seconds not milliseconds. The worst part is that it scales non-linearly with # of DOM nodes on the page, # of DOM nodes loaded in other tabs in FF, how long it's been running and who knows what else.
The longer FF works on improvements on benchmarks on which it is already fast, the more market share Chrome will take by making fast things that actually matter.
- gruseom 17y agoI agree 100% and have been complaining about exactly this for a long time (e.g. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=325742 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=325742). The fact that IE is the whipping-boy of the web community has caused Firefox to get more of a free ride than it deserves. That will eventually change.
