[ale] Firefox Running Slow in Linux

[Jim Kinney]

Everything M. Warfield said and what specifically is the scrolling
issue you see? Hangs on scroll, jumpy scroll, won't scroll, etc?

I have a dual Op with 4GB RAM and 64-bit firefox. As my memory gets
chewed up, firefox performance degrades. 3.0.5 seems better than prior
3.0.x version but it still will crash and vanish thanks to crappy
javascript all over the place. I also run the adobe testing version of
flash for 64-bit Linux. It _mostly_ works but I have seen it tear down
firefox to a bit heap of weeping page faults.
