Use a G4- or G5-optimized Firefox build
Authored by: fupeg on Nov 17, '04 02:07:08AM

I downloaded the G5-optimized build and ran it on my 1.8 GHz G5. I ran a couple of benchmarks on it, one that tests numerous javascript functions and another that tests large tables of images. Both were actually slower on the G5-optimized build than on the standard-from-Mozilla build. The difference on javascript was about 5-10%, but on images it was more like 20-25%. Both were still faster than Safari 1.2, and MUCH slower than Opera 7.5.
