but with firefox it's like hell
is it only me? (maybe some plugins i installed in FF)

Yep, same issue, I think firefox can't handle large tables very well.

i had to reboot in XP to do something so i thought to test this page with firefox and it's scrolling normal+fast
it's a shame for such a gr8 open source broswer to suck in osx..
dont want to use safari because im used to firefox+plugins
allready tried some optimized FF betas, specially for intel macs.. they are lighter but scrolling is the same shitt censored2.gif

Mine scrolls fine on both my macbook and my hackintosh...

Are you sure you guys have your EFI's all set up and that your vid cards are utilizing both quartz extreme and core image?
spanakorizo
ofcourse i am sure...it's not like i installed my hackintosh this morning for 1st time...
and please try to focus on the problem, i dont say that my system is laggy.. i say: FIREFOX is laggy
in safari scrolling is normal, so problem is firefox, not if i have QE/CI etc etc
i can get my gfx card to work with 3,4 different ways, so ...no the problem is not there (efi strings,kext injectors(old times),boot gfx enabler,DSDT)
i have even flashed my card with MacPro Bios

anyone else with the laggy page in firefox?

I am having similar issue with lagging FF. But I am using FF in windows XP. FF works fine in SL but in XP and when I tried to log on to my local bank network, the software just hangs there for a long while until everything is loaded. Never was like this before and it only happens so far with this particular site. I tried explorer and its silky smooth. Even when downloading I can still work on other tabs in explorer. But with FF, I have to wait. What the f*#@$d happened. I really like FF 3.5.3.

Made a local copy of a few pages...
"with safari it scrolls normal
http://www.9to5mac.com/snow-leopard-64-bit...it-firmware-efi

on Local it was laggy
As soon as I wrenched out their "new MenuBAR" and started the Page clean the lagging was gone!? Go-figure...
