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.

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.

Thanks,

Nathan
