Hi, |
| 2 |
I'm noticing that what I think is a flash presentation in |
| 3 |
firefox-bin on my 3GHz Gentoo AMD64 machine is *significantly* slower, |
| 4 |
like 10x slower, than the same page coming up on my 1.6Ghz Athlon XP |
| 5 |
machine running Win XP. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
If I go to the following page |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
http://www.investools.com/ |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
then what I see is a green arrow filling up for about 10 seconds while |
| 12 |
this presentation loading. On the XP box it's essentially |
| 13 |
instantaneous. I cleared cache and restarted the browser on both |
| 14 |
machines to make the comparison. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Granted, I don't care about this stuff on the front page but there |
| 17 |
is stuff inside the website that I need which is also 5-10x slower on |
| 18 |
my Gentoo machine than on Win XP which makes using Gentoo pretty much |
| 19 |
out of the question. I'm not sure the stuff inside is actually flash - |
| 20 |
it's static charts, etc., some of which are done with Java I think. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Do any others see this same slow response on the front page? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I'm using a newish flash although I haven't sync'ed in a day or two |
| 25 |
so maybe something else is out there. |

Is this a firefox-bin thing? Maybe I should build firefox from source? |

Thanks in advance, |
