OK - agreed that many people have a problem with Ubuntu's Firefox, and
possibly on certain configurations there's a bug there. On the other hand,
many people, including me, are not seeing this problem, so a blanket
statement that "ubuntu's firefox is as slow as it gets" is just as
inaccurate as saying "the problem doesn't exist" - which,only from the
point of view of those who aren't having troubles with FF, is true - for
*those* people.

My suggestion was just that - a suggestion. If
you have it already set then clearly it doesn't help you. 

Nevertheless, it has helped some people, as I know from suggesting it to
them on #ubuntu IRC.

As they say, "YMMV"
