Just once I wish people would fire up a camera, point it at their browsers, and record their claims of sluggishness. This thread is full of competing claims that their favorite browser is fast, while competitor browser is atrociously slow.

Posting system specs would be useful too, there's a chance that slow performance is GPU or driver related, memory related, dependent on other apps you have installed, etc.

Some objectivity would be nice for once instead of warring anecdotes.
