Of course not. However I've been hearing arguments against Linux products such as OpenOffice.org and KOffice being much less robust or having poor performance in comparison with the MS Office products. Comparing browsers is inevitable. Some people also claimed that one of the best advantages with IE is the fact that it takes next to no time for it to load up (since most of it's components are present in memory already, in part). I'm not sure why Mozilla is so bloated or runs poorly on slower systems. I don't even know the effect of the desktop environment on the performace. We know there are differences in performance between desktops and window managers. I'd guess in order to measure the performance of Mozilla optimally, we should run it under the simplest, fastest desktop + WM. Can you honestly say that the computer's sluggishness is caused *only* because of Mozilla ?? not even by a combination of Mozilla and the desktop environment ? That's not great evidence you know...
