On my test machine, I have these specs:

FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE
433 MHz Celeron old as crap Processor
192 MBs RAM
Opera takes about as long as Firefox takes you with 8 ggis of RAM lol.

when I saw the specs I thought it was odd until I saw you were running Windows and Firefox.

I used to love Firefox. But lately it just isn't something I like. I do use it for some things from time to time, like testing HTML. Other than that I hate it.

I don't like IE either. The newest version isn't as bad, but it still isn't something I'd release if I had worked on it.
Heh... the 8gb is actually because I do quite a bit of work with VMs. After the first load, new FF windows open almost instantaneously. When I boot to Linux on the same machine, firefox opens pretty quickly... I would say <5 seconds. I have always had that problem with firefox though [in Windows].

At work, after I first boot, it will take 30-45 seconds to open [I am in the process of ordering a new work system... my current one is getting pretty dated]. I would use Opera, but one of the sites I visit the most, our webmail [running Zimbra], doesn't display correctly, unless I use HTML only. If I try to use the standard view, it is all jacked up.
