The only MicroB hack I'd love to see is the one that would fix the lag between entering an URL in address bar and the moment when page actually starts loading. See here for more detailed description of this issue (copy below).

I frequently experience very weird and frustrating problem with built-in web
browser in my N900, which is basically quite long lag between launching a
given URL and getting that URL to actually start loading. Say I type a "
www.google.com" URL in address bar, hit enter and expect the page to load
instantly (assumed stable and fast internet connection in the background,
obviously), however what *usually* happens is that progress bar under the
address bar slides right<->left back and forth for quite a while (sometimes
couple of seconds, sometimes tens of seconds!) before it eventually "clicks"
and starts loading the page - which is quite instant itself. It's
*just*about that lag before the page loading occurs.

Firefox/Fennec, apart from being a massive resource hog to the point where
whole device becomes unusable, is very good with instant page loading, so I
think background internet connectivity issues are beyond the suspicion.

Does anyone experience that problem? Is that something that could be
tweaked/managed or it's just a bug to be filed in bugzilla?
