I'm totally unaware of such things O:-) but have you looked at
"about:config" section while filtering by "urlbar"? It is plenty of
entries and maybe you can tweak here something that makes things better
according to your liking.

IMO, since v3.x Firefox has started making (ab)use of sqlite databases
and history is also stored here, dunno if this has something to do this
slowness.

I personally have not found yet a better browser.
I was very happy with konqueror 3.5, I used it for Internet browsing as
well as file manager but after I switched to GNOME I made Firefox my
default browser. Also tried Opera and Chrome but there is something in
them that does not match with me.
