The firefox on my fully updated Fedora Core 4 box renders many larger pages very slowly. During the page rendering, Firefox "hangs" completely. A good test page is:
Thanks for the analysis. I've got 68 seconds on FC4 updated.
For me it was 7.34 seconds. Using firefox 1.0.4. What hardware do you have? Video card, motherboard, cpu & speed, etc. Does your video card use acceleration? If so, is it turned on?
You are using 1.0.4, not 1.0.6?

101.065 using Firefox 1.0.6 and the worlds worst ISP, ATT Worldnet dial-up.
The reports so far seem to be pretty consistent that people who are using 1.0.4 have reasonable render times. People who are using 1.0.6 from Fedora have horrible render times.

Well, this is an interesting data point: Fedora Core 4 x86_64 on Athlon 64 2.0 GHz (3200+) firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4.i386 (so it's 32-bit firefox) render time ~7 or 8 sec
For comparison, a 64-bit browser: mozilla-1.7.10-1.5.1.x86_64 render time ~3 to ~5 sec
