Intersting - the 2 you might think help to speed it up - NoScript and
AbBlock+ actually slow it down...

I wondered about this, but it seems clear it is about starting up and says
nothing about running. Do any mentioned slow down the running?

Not that I've really noticed, but I'm on a slow 1.6GHz box anyway.

Call that slow? I routinely underclock (in software) my laptop to 800Mhz to stop it overheating! :p

Current consumption doesn't measurably change on the Atom motherboard I have when I let it slow the processor down to 800 Mhz, so I just leave it to run at full speed.
