I wish that I was the only one with the performance problems, but I’ve gotten confirmation from several people now that performance is also terrible for them immediately after installation. It just gets worse as you go through and configure services.

Pretty much same problems as before. CPU and RAM going nuts.At least Netscape's latest 9 is stable in that area (better than Firefox i found, with regards to RAM usage - CPU is not issue for either of these) and compatible with the extensions department.XPHome.

CPU and RAM going nuts.

I installed the browser, opened it, and saw overly high memory usage. It's not that I see slowdowns on my machine, but I also have a high performance PC. If I was running this on a slightly older laptop with only 512MB of memory there would definitely be some performance issues with the virtual memory swapping. I really hope that you're right about upgrading to Firefox 3, because that could make a huge difference in the end result.
