Firefox Faster In Wine Than Native
An anonymous reader writes "Tuxradar did some benchmarks comparing Firefox's Windows and Linux JavaScript performance.

I guess it's all a matter of preference. Right now my glibc is washing the dishes, which is great since my wife won't. However, in some other house they might want glibc to stay the hell out of the kitchen.
