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.

I had a brief email exchange with Michael Kaply (of Operator fame) yesterday afternoon and he reported a bug, which I've fixed. I think that a side effect of this is that there will be fewer passes made on pages. I also changed the way that page processing is dispatched to create fewer threads (I'm not sure where the thread overhead v. performance gains really "break even"). You can download the new version at http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/software/mozcc/download/mozcc-2.3.9.2.xpi.

I'd be interested in hearing how performance compares to the previous release, as well as if the performance is any different between loading a page for the first time v. re-loading the page.


[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?]

As far as I know it's a firefox-side choice. I've not seen any way to control the enabled/disabled state from the extension code.
