I think I may have cut off the rest of the report too soon.<br><br>I think that even if FreeBSD supports multi-cores, any given app isn't going to necessarily benefit from having 8 cores.

So I have a feeling that running Firefox for example, only uses one core to do the basic stuff.<br><br>--- On <b>Sun, 8/30/09, Brodey Dover <i><doverosx@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Brodey Dover <doverosx@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: [PC-BSD Testing] FF3.5.2 runs slower on PCBSD than Windows?<br>To: "PC-BSD Testing list" <testing@lists.pcbsd.org><br>Date: Sunday, August 30, 2009, 7:11 PM<br><br><div

OO 3.1.1 just went final so maybe there's some tuning they did with the
point release. 3.1 does run a bit laggy on my old clunker abuse box as
well.<br><font color="#888888"><br>

running FF3.5.2 on a 4 year old Toshiba laptop with a 1.5Ghz processor
and 1.2 GB RAM with XP actually loads Gmail faster by a hair.
Opening a small text doc in OO takes about 20 seconds on PCBSD but 24
seconds on the laptop.<br><br>
Very disappointed so far.<br><br>
