FF 3.5b4 very very fast and chrome is faster

[Fintan]

I just downloaded FF3.5b4 to my home/downlaods unpacked it and created a link in lancelot.

It seems to be very stable and is extremely fast.

I hope this solves some of the slowdown issues I am having with JJ.

I did a comparison benchmark from here:
http://www2.webkit.org/perf/sunspide...sunspider.html

I just installed chrom for linux today and checked it against FF 3.5 4b
Here you go:
