I am noticing many firefox performance anomalies. I am fairly
disappointed.

Some sites do seem to crawl.  Though, I think I need to give it some
more time -- I just discovered that our Intrusion Protection software is
causing a couple web performance/connection problems.

argh.

As a side note, anyone using the Firefox 1.5 candidate and noticing a
CSS checker in the JS checker?  Seems flaky, but maybe my code is flaky.
