Hey there, here's the short story. After upgrading a laptop from Firefox 3.6.x to 4.0 the laptop has slowed down while browsing. Compared to a Radeon 3450M laptop, it seems exactly those aspects that are related to eye-candy and supposedly accelerated by the GPU are slow on the GMA-laptop.
Now, up until now that laptop never felt slow according to the owner. Aero works well on Win 7 x86 SP1, as well as any other task except for gaming. Changing from Firefox to other browsers is not an option.
Any idea what's going on? Would it be possible to disable eye candy or hardware-accelerated features on FF4 if this is the culprit, or is there simply a known bug that will get ironed out?
Thanks
