What's slow right now is the number of sites that are web2.0 heavy - ie. running a shed-load of javascript in my browser. Even firefox 3.5 is struggling on some sites on my 1.6GHz Atom desktop - the really irritating thing is that it's dual HT core and firefox isn't multi-threaded, so one slow site crowbars the entire browser.
I've started to use google chrome for javascript intensive sites - it's stupidly fast compared for ff3.5!
Google are now producing .deb's for Chrome too - still mightilly unstable, but it's working for me!
