I only ran 9.0 for a couple of days before 9.0.1 was released. I'm still
running 8.x on several boxes - in my case 9.0.1 seems quicker.
Firefox/Iceweasel tends to use as much RAM as it can get, and surrender
what it doesn't need when it's needed by the system - so I don't know
how to measure how efficiently it uses it. I haven't looked at CPU usage
- on this box it's using around 30+%. But this is just a low-end desktop
only box so I'm not sure how that compares to your situation.
Cheers
