It doesn't matter how fast your system is - the bottleneck is likely your CD-ROM drive in this case.

um....I really don't think that's true. It runs great for me under Linux and I really don't see the Mozilla Organization targeting Firefox to Windows if they were to target it to any specific OS in the first place.
