rabbitoid: I can not say i have my friend, if anything 3.5 is faster

Have you cut the number of posts it displays on a page down ? or as you say, maybe it is linux.

One thing i have found that i use is Prism (made by Mozilla labs as well). Basically, it turn any website you visit, into an application and runs it like that. Much faster. The only downside is you can not use Add-ons with it lol.

Oh, and i do not know if it will work on linux eiither
