Firefox 3 Performance

Has anyone else noticed Firefox 3 performing much slower than FF 1 or 2 in Windows XP? Just wondering if its me or if FF3 is more bloated or slower than previous versions. What do you guys think?

Yep I'm seeing poor performance and especially poor responsiveness from FF3.
Considering rolling back to a previous version.
One of the main reasons I dislike using IE is having to wait a few seconds for a blank tab to open... FF always had that one over on IE, but the current version is slow to do the same now.

Seems fine for me. I actually feel that page rendering to be a little faster than FF 3.0.
Windows Vista x64, Firefox 3.5.1

I did some googling and most complaints are with XP, people with Vista and 7 have no issues. Anyone else with XP notice this besides me and Foo?

I'm on 7.
Running on a netbook, though, so low RAM. IE's edging out FF for speed on this setup right now, which is a first.

I'm also have it on a netbook as well. Win7/Ubuntu. Runs fine, though it has 1.5GB RAM, which isn't that bad.
