I'm running on an overclocked quad-core to 3.6ghz. I've got a lot of fast ram and an SSD. My motherboard is top tier.
Yet, when my Firefox addons update, I have to sit here and wait several seconds (like 6 or 7 seconds) after they download. A big Visual Studio project loads faster than it takes the addons to update. I'm talking about even after they download, I have to wait 6-7 seconds for them to finish updating.
Is there an artificial pause in Firefox updates or something?
