"The Fedora Project attracts a lot of interest from the Linux faithful. While there are perhaps more newbie-friendly, corporate-friendly, or special-interest-focused distributions, Fedora continues to wear the innovation hat.
Fedora announced Fedora 9 Beta late last month, and Test Center reviewers replaced the current Fedora 8 install to see what the new version has to offer. Since Fedora 9 (Stirling) is still in beta, occasional bugs and some rough edges were inevitable. But there is a solid indication of the new things to come that makes the stable release, expected May 1, worth watching."

Yes, i know. People often complain about startup time and yum. But that's not a big problem for me. I don't re-start my system that often.
Same here. I restart the machine only when there's a critical kernel update.
Everything else is just init 1 && init 5.
But the general performance is really annoying.
Gnash is just one example another would be startup time of a gnome-terminal, etc.

General performance? In what sense?
As for gnome-terminal - its easy to measure.
Cold boot distro A, login, open xterm, time gnome-terminal.
Cold boot distro B, login, open xterm, time gnome-terminal. Rinse and repeat.
Once done, post the numbers in a bug report. (+Drop a message @fedora-devel ML)
It isn't a FF3 compatibility problem, i have this experience with Fedora8.
I don't know if it makes much sense to fill a bug.
Of-course it does.
Just make sure you use numbers and not subjective views. (It feels faster)
Because it is not a bug by itself.
On my powerfull desktop everything is in sync. But on my small laptop i feel the performance differences quite bad.

Memory usage?
Too many CPU eating services?
Run-aware process?
etc.
top, iotop, vmstat and free are your friends.
