   Reviewing 11.0 (Mar 16, 2012)

   I use this on the laptop, and Palemoon (32) in the deskop. It is very fast and there ARE optimizations made. From the website:
   
   "Waterfox was compiled with SSE2, the AMD Core Math Library and the following optimisation flags: /O2 /GR- /GS- /GA"
   
   I think it's speed is at least comparable if not faster than PM. Benchmarks agree.

   Reviewing 10.0.2 (Feb 22, 2012)

   I am not sure why but Waterfox requires Visual C++ Redistributable be installed before it will run or you get a msvcr100.dll is missing error. Given the insignificant differences in the benchmarks between this and Palemoon, I would prefer to use something that I can download and run, not have to add things I don't normally use installed on my machine. But that's just me.

   Palemoon 9.2 IS FF 10.0.2 The updates to PM lag a week or so behind the major updates of FF. The reasons for this are spelled out very clearly on the Palemoon website.

   Reviewing 10.0.1 (Feb 13, 2012)

   The problems are because this is just a simple port of the 32-bit source with NO tweaking or modifications. The so-called "tweaks" are common to all 64-bit apps - they are nothing special. To get a properly modified AND optimised 64 bit build, there is only 1 contender, Pale Moon.
