This sounds good, but I suspect it isn't really true.  "15% faster" I
might have believed, but would depend also.  If you change between
versions, you'll have some churn in the preferences file from start up.
In addition, Firefox does significant caching, so this is probably what
you're seeing.

If you wanted to be really sure, you'd need to start by deleting
Choices:Mozilla each time.
