Have you tried disabling 'smooth scrolling' (Options/Preferences -> Advanced -> General-tab -> Browsing: use smooth scrolling), I personally don't like it.
It is on by default, someone thinks it is a feature.
Actually the last 3 releases all had some improvements in the memory department (I think 8 had the most improvements) and it looks to me like, there is more to come.
And that is even though we need less IPv6 entries than IPv4 per network, because one IPv6 entry is much larger than one IPv4 entry. A lot of networks that now have 4 or 10 IPv4 entries, might now only need 1 or 2 IPv6 entries.

Networks Running IPv6
We can measure the percentage of networks running IPv6 by comparing the set of ASes in the IPv6 routing table to those in the combined set of IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 and IPv6 RIBs Last Parsed: Sun Dec 11 01:07:46 PST 2011 IPv4 ASes: 39706 IPv6 ASes: 4923 ASes using only IPv4: 34893 ASes using only IPv6: 110 ASes using IPv4 and IPv6: 4813 ASes using IPv4 or IPv6: 39816 Percentage of ASes (IPv4 or IPv6) running IPv6: 12.4%
Because the hardware that can handle large amounts of small packets fast when you install your own software ('firmware'), does not exist AFAIK. Atleast not the type which will also be supported by (multiple) vendors (no1 wants to be stuck on, locked into, one vendor). designing not-massproduced ASICS isn't cheap. It would be like Google designing their own CPU's for their servers.
The closest things are:
- NetFPGA (some people at Google worked on that project I believe) / LibreRouter - which use FPGA's to handle packets, you tell it how to do that.
- projects like Netmap, handle packets in userspace so you don't have to push packets through the kernel on normal PC-hardware, making it faster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPtoXNW9yEQ
The best chance currently to be useful in 'doing your own thing' is probalby:
- OpenFlow, which basically is an API standard which multiple vendors would support to describe what the hardware in a switch should be doing, a programming language almost. Some demo's: http://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordopenflow
Which can allow for lots of tricks, like 'software defined networking'
You mean Javascript is a functional programming language in sheepsclothing and it is one of the most used languages. (although many people don't really understand the language and use it wrong, thus also a very much 'abused language')
That might be, but that does not mean we all think that the current setup for DNS should be the only-CA for everything (because that is what DNSSEC/DANE is, a trust model with only one CA, the DNS-root).
The organisations which handles what goes into the root are ICANN, ARIN and Verisign. All US organisations, all have to abide by the US rules/laws/pressures.
Only the root server administrators can stop the root being published, but as the root is signed and it will expire. They are pretty much forced to only block it until it expires and disable the DNSSEC system all together.
A lot of systems already support 10 Gbps Ethernet on UTP and fibre. 40 and 100 Gbps Ethernet is coming.
At 10 Gbps, iSCSI is already faster, cheaper and even lower latency than most 8 Gbps FibreChannel solutions, pushing FibreChannel even more into the highend niche markets it already is.
After the fairly new SATA 6 Gbit/s, it looks like SATA Express is will be connected directly to the PCI Express bus without needing a SATA controller.
This 30 Gbps wireless stuff is probably only useful for point-to-point and short ranges.
If after a couple of years running a bunch of systems and 10% has already failed (in a certain short amount of time), the others will probably follow soon.

Isn't the real problem that parties don't take the time to properly inform the public about their plans ?
I think even the politicians don't believe the public even wants to know and that is why it now mostly is a popularity contest.
Hell, I don't even life in the US. So I'm probably wrong :-)
And you buy a new computer every 2 years with new disks ?
A normal PC can't handle lots of small packets.
The quote below is from the he.net website, that doesn't seem all that great.
But people are starting to deploy it now, look at the growth of the number of BGP route entries in the routing tables:

Remember the mini-computer didn't even exists then.
So a computer was a large machine which took up a room.
And it was just an experiment, the experiment never ended.

"even though Israel has never done anything bad to Iran"
Euh, you don't think that the locations that Israel occupies are of no importants to the people in Iran ? Because of their religion I mean.

Have you checked ? it really isn't that bad. Yes, it happends slightly more frequently.
I wouldn't be surprised if the use of tunnels because of IPv6 has a bigger impact.
Here is a plot for the DNSSEC signing of the root:
https://www.dns-oarc.net/files/blog-2009/plot1.png
https://www.dns-oarc.net/node/199
Most of it is misconfigured servers.
OpenDNS is called OpenDNS because they provide and open recursor service.
Kind of related I came across this video today:

That is exactly why I think the whole public traded company model is kind of broken now.
Or the financial market or something.
The whole consumer economy model which was created after the second world war is not sustainable.
HTML forms and Javascript IS pretty much modeled after hypercard.
That might be, but that does not mean we all think that the current setup for DNS should be the only-CA for everything (because that is what DNSSEC/DANE is, a trust model with only one CA, the DNS-root).

An example of a few days ago:
"US Gov't Seizes 130+ More Domains In Crackdown"
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/11/26/1453227/us-govt-seizes-130-more-domains-in-crackdown
I'm not saying it is a bad idea, I'm just trying to make clear that it isn't perfect. Not perfect it all.
A lot have replaced 4 or more 1 Gbps with one 10 Gbps on the vmware/whatever-virt. servers.
You don't have to, there is also statusnet/Identi.ca jabber/xmpp and obviously VoIP.
So basically wireless will eventually be like fibre ?
A lot of systems already support 10 Gbps Ethernet on UTP and fibre. 40 and 100 Gbps Ethernet is coming.
At 10 Gbps, iSCSI is already faster, cheaper and even lower latency than most 8 Gbps FibreChannel solutions, pushing FibreChannel even more into the highend niche markets it already is.
After the fairly new SATA 6 Gbit/s, it looks like SATA Express is will be connected directly to the PCI Express bus without needing a SATA controller.
This 30 Gbps wireless stuff is probably only useful for point-to-point and short ranges.
Somehow I have the feeling it might be a bad idea to be operated on by a robot which is connected over wireless.
Most operations like that happen on an operation table in an operating room I would imagine, probably not the place where wireless is needed.
Even Apache has a project called http://trafficserver.apache.org/ if performance is what you need.
My guess is, the logic is here:
If after a couple of years running a bunch of systems and 10% has already failed (in a certain short amount of time), the others will probably follow soon.
Look up the term "Live CD" and try a bunch of Linux distros like.
You can use an USB-stick instead of CD/DVD too so you can try different ones more easily.
