"During 2011, we saw the latest Firefox release that year being up to 7 times faster than Firefox 3.6!"

"A lot of work went into this area, and there were improvements resulting in up to 50% less memory usage."

Personally I don't get the whole fast/slow argument it seems people bring up every time a web browser is mentioned. They all seem to perform comparably. I use firefox only because it allows me to group and hide my ~80 tabs and only loads the ones i'm using.
