Yea, or even compare window managers. I'm using IceWM here. Firefox is
still back at 1.0.3 on my computer, installed from a tarball. Firefox
seems to be the same speed as Galeon and Mozilla (only other 2 I use
with regularity).
I will also mention that it is very rare for me to use Windows these
days, so I may not know what 'fast' is for a web browser. (But I tend to
doubt that. :-)
HTH,
