On my family computer, which runs windows xp, js is incredibly slow on firefox with pages such as gmail. as well.<br><br>550mhz P3.<br><br>I wouldn't think it's necessarily a wine issue moreso than a hardware issue, or the fact that javascript can be cpu intensive.

I've been using Firefox-1.5.x again on wine<br>(using the winehq packages for Ubuntu)<br>on my dual 650MHz system as my main browser<br>again for the last few months. It's working quite<br>well... except that javascript-heavy pages/apps like
<br>gmail are a tad sluggish at accepting keyboard input.<br>For some reason, <a href="http://yahoo.com">yahoo.com</a>'s main page is also sluggish;<br>they must do something fancy.<br>Both are fine with native firefox on this system.
<br><br>I'm sure this won't affect anyone with a modern<br>system, but it is kind of sad that my trusty<br>old dual CPU system isn't up to daily tasks<br>anymore. Sniff... ah, well, I see Fry's has<br>amd64 4000 motherboard/cpu combos for $189,
<br>guess it's time to upgrade.<br><br>At some point it'd be nice to look into why Firefox's<br>javascript is slow under Wine, though.<br>- Dan<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Tired of being hammered by spyware, or want to browse the internet in a whole new way?
