Firefox Speedup
< on 9/18/2008 11:08 PM >

First off I have a fairly nice computer

It's a Sager 2090 Notebook
2.2 T7500 Centrino Duo (Santa Rosa)
3 GB/s RAM
512 nVidia 8600GM
7200RPM 200GB Seagate Hdd (fastest notebook Hdd available )


But recently I've noticed my CPU has been maxing out and firefox has been slow as all hell. So I googled it and someone found the fix:

tools-->options-->security--> uncheck "Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected forgery"

Firefox speeds right up and my cpu which was at 30-100% is back down to 1-4%.

You just have to be careful about "suspected forgery" sites... but hey "security economy and speed" are three words that are never grouped together except in Honda commercials.
