Is there maybe some problem with prefetching?
Have you tried turning off
prefetching and seeing if that speeds things up?
No I haven't tried that because it's my understanding that prefetching
only starts *after* the page is loaded and displayed.
I'm not sure that's always true. I'm not an expert on this but I seem
to recall
that there are circumstances where this is false. The only one I remember off
the top of my head is I think if one has multiple tabs loading after the first
tab finishes Firefox can start prefetching the pages from the finished tab
before the next one has loaded all the way. But I'm not completely sure about
this. That could be wrong.
