 * It seems some ppl see a difference between browsers and some don’t. At my end
   I can DEFINITELY see a difference between IE7 and FF3. And I have to say that
   while the Admin pages are the biggest problem, browsing the actual site pages
   aren’t exactly that fast either. Or maybe it’s cos I’m logged in as admin while
   doing it.
 * Anyway. In FFox, when you request a page it just sits there for ages… the browser
   loading bar doesn’t even move until very late in the game then I see the little
   green squares filling across. Which looks to me as if *BEFORE* the request, something
   else is happening. Is it it looking through firefox’s cache? If so, for what?

 * I would like to help debug this… but I am not a tech wizard or anything so I 
   may need some guidance…
 * I was on version 2.something-old, and upgraded to 2.7 [@home](https://wordpress.org/support/users/home/)
   on my local machine. So I have access to php, mysql and apache on a windows XP
   box if someone needs me to play with server settings…
 * It is slow as hell, though I noticed the slowness only happens for me in Firefox
   3. Even after a clean ffox reinstall, it’s still deadly slow in that browser.
   **
   In IE7, it takes approx up to 5 seconds to load any page. ** This is reasonable
   on my (old) machine. In fact, IE7 has been consistently faster. On the other 
   hand FFox, my preferred browser, is stupendously slow and often exceeds the 30s
   timeout limit, showing a php error as a result instead of loading the requested
   page. This behaviour is erratic / inconsistent.
 * So… Could this also be a problem exacerbated by ffox’s recent v3 upgrade?
