The reason I quit using Firefox wasn't because pages loaded slowly. It was the overall responsiveness of the interface. Tab management, opening menus, pressing buttons, and even scrolling were (and are) incredibly sluggish in Firefox on my computer. I think most people who say Firefox is "slow" are actually referring to this, and not the things benchmarks measure.
Chrome's interface is perfectly snappy. This is with no extensions on either, and brand new profiles. Every once in a while I go through a free software stage and switch back to Firefox, but I always end up going back to Chrome.
