Admittedly there are a lot of variables here, and this may not be a fair test at all, but it's interesting to me that Firefox on Windows loads many web pages much faster (relative to Chrome) than Firefox on Linux loads those same web pages (according to Mozilla's own metrics). Take a look at IMDb, Imgur, LinkedIn, Netflix, Outlook, Twitter, Wikipedia on the following pages. In all these cases, using Chrome's performance as a benchmark, Firefox performs worse on Linux (often significantly) than it does on Windows. I didn't see any cases where Linux performs significantly better than Windows. https://arewefastyet.com/win10/warm-page-load/overview?numDa... https://arewefastyet.com/linux64/warm-page-load/overview?num... Wikipedia is a shocking case (because it's such a simple site). Chrome loads Wikipedia in about the same time on Linux as it does on Windows (unsurprisingly). Firefox takes almost three times longer! Again, I don't have any way to get enough data to verify these numbers. They might be incorrect. But if Mozilla's performance metrics for Firefox on Linux are screwy, then doesn't it speak in favor of OP's point that nobody has looked into the issue and fixed it? |
