Slackware 13.0 RC1 has been released. Or tagged. Or whatever you'd call it in the Slackware world. "The TODO isn't entirely empty here, but it's pretty much down to minor nits, and so we're going to call this release candidate #1 and (mostly) freeze further updates unless they happen to fix problems. Regarding the kernel, 2.6.29.x has been well tested with this userspace and seems like the best choice to ship for production use. Perhaps we can put something else (at least source and configs) in /testing, though."

That was the main reason of firefox being slower on Linux than other platforms.
I assume you're referring to the following:

This performance issue doesn't impact on Linux 2.6.29 and in regards to older kernels, unless you're going to flog the system by doing 12,500 inserts you won't experience any major performance issues. For some reason I don't think the average user using Firefox will be doing 12,500 inserts.
