Having just been upgraded from 78(IIRC) to 91, it’s slow as hell.
Hitting PgDn in a page blocks the entire browser (including Ctrl-Tab)
for often multiple seconds, otherwise a noticeably large fraction of
a second always. Clicking things (such as liking something on Good‐
reads) takes an entire ORDER OF MAGNITUDE longer.

OK, a Core2duo 2 GHz isn’t the fastest machine around, but *THIS*
is absolutely pathetic a regression.
