Speed - Firefox loading

[JHB]

Hi.

I have a page where I'm loading 10000 records from a database into a
WEB-page.

When I'm using FF to load the page it takes about 130 seconds for the 10000
records.

When I choose only load 2500 records it takes only 10 seconds, (it is the
same data and I've taken then first from the start, afterward from the
middle and at last from the end, no difference it takes 10 seconds).

When I use IE it takes about 20 seconds for the 10000 record and about 5
seconds for the 2500 records.

I've set the network.http.pipelining and the network.http.proxy.pipelining
to true, what can I do else?

Any suggestion would great.

Is there a better group/site to ask my question?

TIA

Without a URL it is difficult to say, my guess is that you put all this
in a huge table, Firefox is slow with huge tables while IE is quite fast
with them.

Of course,n without a URL we could look at, it's difficult to say more
or give advices on how to speed it up.

There a reason for that?

FF tries more actively to update the display during the page load.
IE just stops updating the page (after the first part is displayed),
until the full page is loaded.

There are some other differences as well, such as more conformance to
standards. Also if javascript is used to write the page itself, after
the first 16K the 'doc.write' statements used to get very slow.
This is solved in the current builds.

So, please retry using a current nightly build of FF and tell us about
the timings, but also please provide a testcase to analyse further
