I compiled it, and here are my use flags: I've been using FF3 for about 2 months, and although many things have improved during the beta phase it is generally about as memory and CPU heavy as FF2. The only real improvement I've observed as far as performance is concerned is javascript. I wish there were a light version available. I've tried galeon and epiphany, but both lacked features that I really like in FF and now that there is a great amount of extensions available it is harder to justify using another browser. Maybe it's time to switch back to konqueror. Justin -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
