subject: Change font size in Firefox to test its speed

From: Randall Parker 

Got an easy test to compare FireFox on different machines: Load a page and
then use Ctrl+= and Ctrl+- to increase and decrease the text size.

With the New York Times front page loaded on a Dell Optiplex GX240 1.8 Ghz
P4  Linux Fedora 5 and FireFox v1.5.0.4 it takes 5 seconds to increase or
decrease the size of the text on the front page.

Since the front page of the NY Times changes fairly often I figure a bigger
and more stable page would be a better test. Here's one of mine:

This page takes 12 seconds to become bigger when I hit Ctrl+=. Then it took
11 seconds to become smaller when I hit Ctrl+-.

Geo, you want to try your Knoppix disk with that?
