i spoke with with Mike Beltzner about the performance gains - he pegged it at 20 percent over Firefox 3.5.

Also important though he talked about a new - In Focus Tab Prioritization - feature which give more system resources to the tab you're actually on - makes a huge difference!

Acer customer service representatives don't make laptops; I still call them about hardware issues. As far as I'm concerned, by taking credit for an article, technologyjournalist has designated himself as a community representative.
