Gecko is a dog, true, but most of its footprint is data so the ISA won't make much difference.

I suspect any significant performance improvements will only materialise after at least the most commonly used libraries and the X11 stack have been rebuilt. Until then most processes are going to be switching between ISAs all the time (and dropping the BT caches to boot).
