If I go to the following page http://www.investools.com/ then what I see is a green arrow filling up for about 10 seconds while this presentation loading. On the XP box it's essentially instantaneous. I cleared cache and restarted the browser on both machines to make the comparison. Granted, I don't care about this stuff on the front page but there is stuff inside the website that I need which is also 5-10x slower on my Gentoo machine than on Win XP which makes using Gentoo pretty much out of the question. I'm not sure the stuff inside is actually flash - it's static charts, etc., some of which are done with Java I think. Do any others see this same slow response on the front page? I'm using a newish flash although I haven't sync'ed in a day or two so maybe something else is out there. mark@lightning ~ $ eix -I flash [I] net-www/netscape-flash Available versions: 7.0.63 7.0.68 {M}(~)9.0.21.55 {M}(~)9.0.21.78 Installed versions: 9.0.21.78(04:34:22 PM 12/02/2006) Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/ Description: Adobe Flash Player mark@lightning ~ $ Is this a firefox-bin thing?
