Guess not, figured it was a gimmick for a programmer to drum up business. The world is full of charlatans..

Ok, I couldn't get Peacemaker to run on FF on the test machine, so here are tests with some others.
JS Benchmark (three runs, average)
FF 3.6.3 - 129
FF SSE2 - 128.33 (no real change)
TableRender (three runs, average)
FF 3.6.3 - 946.66 ms
FF SSE2 - 870.33 ms (8.7% improvement)
Sunspider
FF 3.6.3 - 1429ms
FF SSE2 - 1321ms (8.1% improvement)

So it's good, but not great.  I don't think I'll bother switching.
