I don't agree on the rendering. Because of the badly broken threading,
the rendering *feels* really really slow. If one page is loading, you
can't type into the location bar in another window. A watched kettle, and
all that.
If it's a slow site, it means that mozilla can be locked up for 30
seconds - and if it's a fast site, the latency between pressing enter in a
location bar, and it actually starting to display something can be up to
ten seconds!
