Just an anecdote, but back in my Windows XP days, I tried out firefox and found it pretty slow, seemed even worse than IE (in 2004ish?), whereas chrome was lightning quick. Fast forward several years and using gnome 2 on linux, and I found firefox felt snappier overall than chrome. I still do find firefox quicker for most thing (not google maps), though they have various add-ons which doesnt make it a fair comparison.
