| 866093 | 2010-03-11 08:58:00 | Swiftfox (getswiftfox.com) is Firefox optimized for for Linux and the CPU and is way faster. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 866094 | 2010-03-11 21:22:00 | Any chance of some (good) benchmarks? Looking at the description of optimisations (en.wikipedia.org), it appears to be simply a vanilla Firefox build (i.e. identical code to the main Firefox tree) compiled using some rather aggressive GCC options - the speed difference is unlikely to be 'way faster', and generally not enough to merit switching. |

| 866095 | 2010-03-12 04:31:00 | I'd be interested in that too, though the HTTP Pipelining can be enabled even on a vanilla firefox can't it? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 866096 | 2010-03-12 07:35:00 | Yep, it can (via about:config). | Erayd (23) | ||
| 866097 | 2010-03-12 08:39:00 | Haven't got any figures but it is way faster on my old box. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 866098 | 2010-03-12 21:30:00 | Any chance you could be a tad more specific about what exactly is faster? If we're talking general page load times, that's likely to be almost entirely due to the pipelining setting. |
