Up through 8.04 was great performance. But since then .... well. I think a good part of my problem is the Intel chipset issues. I sure hope 9.10 fixes that!

I'd be curious though if that means you can run 2 browsers simultaneously for a week or two. I have been able to do that kind of thing effortlessly for many years. Starting with Ubuntu 8.10 (and then 9.04) I can do this, but it starts getting very painful as things start slowing down radically. I think the Intel chipset problem does some funny memory related stuff too, like maybe it reserves more than it needs and the rest of the system suffers. That's just a theory based on comparing my home and work systems (which was better but still not great after a week or so). Good news!
