Even more optimized version of Fennec 17 I'm about to release in a few days. I'm still testing and applying various tweaks. Stay tuned!

Yes it is smooth, but still there is always room for improvement. It's as smooth as Opera. Flash is working. Based on 'v17 release' branch. As I said before I will work on it until I run out of optimization options and my purpose is to make it replace MicroB~!

Mind to share what you're tweaking? That would be useful for embedLite too.

I would love to hear more details about whole compilation process step-by-step, as I tried to do non-thumb compilation and failed :(

Cannot wait for this! Here's hoping for a complete replacement for MicroB for all web browsing! Thanks for doing this!

@tanago - if you manage to do that, I promise to buy you whatever sane quantity of beer you want when I pass via Burgas on my way south during the summer :)

CPU & Memory(RAM & Offline Cache) usage is awful on the N900 simply because mozilla(small 'm' on purpose ;) ) has optimized Fennec ONLY for Android. This is what makes Fennec slower when compared to MicroB - only in terms of page interactions-scrolling, loading, switching between tabs, etc.. ; scripts are already running smoothly( according to sunspider bench. 6000 ms. - my Fennec vs 21000 ms. - MicroB : 3.5 times faster!)

It will ALWAYS fail~! Simply because scratchbox's gcc is 4.2 and you need a lot newer to compile the new versions of Fennec (15+)
...So... the newer gcc is found in the thumb repositories and thus you can only build Fennec 15+ for CSSU Thumb ;)
