When i installed the i386 compiled version of mozilla it was quite slow, and not to nice to use.
The some weeks ago i switched to gentoo and had everything compiled with gcc 3.2 and with -march=athlon-tchicken turned on and mozilla really turned into a new program.
Try to recompile it optimized for your platform and it will make a huge diffrence.

I can just agree with this.

Not that long time ago I bought Large Scale C++ Software Sesign, its a really good book about how
to structure and design your programs.
The author himself work on a graphics program, so i think this book will be very good reading for you.
