1 I just finished installing Gentoo on a Dell Vostro 1320 laptop. It
2 has a 2.2Ghz Core Duo CPU, 3GB RAM, and a 7200RPM hard drive.
3 Navigating within firefox is pretty slow. It's the response time of
4 the application, not the network. It's much slower than my previous
5 laptop which has much weaker specs.

7 I noticed the HD light comes on when the system is pausing in firefox
8 sometimes. I don't have any swap at all, I'm using the CFQ, and /tmp
9 is mounted on tmpfs. Can anyone suggest where to look?
