Why navigation with n900 is slow?
 
Why navigation with n900 is slow if compared to a pc or to a laptop?
I am not speaking about speed given by speedtest (I have 7 Mbits) but it's slow charging the pages and it's really less reactive if compared to a pc. I confess that this fact makes me nervous when using n900.
I was really believing that n900 were a little computer.
Is it due to the hardware? To the software? Should I reflash(I don't think it makes sense but in my opinion things since pr1.3 went worst...)?

cloudgps is quite smooth :P

btw. Could you please explain what do you mean by slow. Also you probably realize that CPU inside n900 is nowhere near to todays desktop cpus.

.edit
These all are slow?

I feel the N900 slow only when navigating facebook dot com...!

"Small computer" does not mean "as fast as your core i7 desktop".

I don't mean "navigation" as you intend, but www navgation, which is going from site to site by using microB.
I know the CPUs should be good enough, but you can't say that using microB or firefox with n900 is the same thing as using firefox or chrome wiith a pc: that's what I mean and it's leaving me quite unsatisfied.

Still what do you mean by slow? Slow page loading or slow scrolling something else? Be specific to the fault. If slow scrolling&rendering then is it happening on all pages or on specific pages? If on all pages then try to clear browser cache, check that there is now other programs running un background, reboot, check again if problem persist then check background processes (have you installed anything from testing or devel?). If on specific pages then is it because of flash? Or some heavy javascripts? For example some google services take n900 to itīs knees and itīs expectable.

If slow page loading then check connection. Are you on 3g or on wifi?

Also I would recommend on trying Opera as it seems to be fastest browser (at least on my N900) currently available.
