I doubt it. Even if I weren't predisposed to doubt it, it wouldn't fit
with Luis's experience of degraded performance between versions of
MozCC: it'd be a consistent (or probably at least linear) degradation
regardless of which extensions or versions you had installed. Instead
it seems more likely that we've changed something that exercises the
browser in a different way.

Right. I didn't upgrade from 1.5->2.0 this afternoon; I upgraded mozcc.

Hrm, that's an idea, actually... most of the changes in this update
happened in the RDFa module. You can download a build with RDFa
disabled at
http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/software/mozcc/download/mozcc-2.3.9.1-nordfa.xpi.
I'd be interested in hearing if that fixes the performance problems
for anyone experiencing them.

It does not fix the performance problem, for what it is worth. I've
just done a number of re-installs/re-loads and am still seeing the
slow load time. I also noted that I'm seeing a complete firefox UI
freeze while the page is loading.

[Tangent: is it a firefox-side choice that installing a new version of
an addon doesn't also re-enable the addon, or is that up to the author
of the addon?]
