Firefox Faster In Wine Than Native

Posted by timothy on from the that-sounds-hard-to-swallow dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Tuxradar did some benchmarks comparing Firefox's Windows and Linux JavaScript performance. 'We did some simple JavaScript benchmarks of Firefox 3.0 using Windows and Linux to see how it performed across the platforms — and the results are pretty bleak for Linux.' Later on, they tried Wine. 'The end result: Firefox from Mozilla or from Fedora has almost nil speed difference, and Firefox running on Wine is faster than native Firefox.'"

    'If you want long term'

    Wanting long term is an example of insanity (and ignorance) on the part of a male. We aren't designed for it biologically for starters. More importantly, I've found attractive women and intelligent women, and women who are both but I've yet to find a sane woman. The level of insanity you have to deal with increases right along with the level of commitment you've made (why this is nobody can say).

    So in light of all that, if you are really serious about something long term go for dumb and attractive so that you have no troubles talking her into a pre-nup. That way she won't take all your worldly possessions when you trade her in for a younger model ;)
