[OpenLayers-Users] Firefox performance issues on Windows

[Matt Williamson]

Z,

Tried with safe mode/no add-ons, and getting pretty much the same  
result.

Perhaps it would help if I were to be a bit more empirical... When I  
grab and drag the map, on FF3 I get about 2 frames per second while  
the map is moving. Under IE7 on the same machine, at the same time, I  
get the more expected 15-20 fps or so.

So, when you pan the map, you get ~10 fps or better? That's about what  
I would expect, especially given that that's what I get from just  
about any other browser.

Thanks,

-Matt
