I would be interested in a quick howto to be able to compile it myself if you don't mind.
I never took the time to dig into the makefiles and dependencies required to compile this beast, so if you could provide the relevant information in a quick howto, that would be much appreciated

Well, i'd give up any percieved qt performance for a gtk version with gstreamer baked in. Do you have any plans for such a build?
As for how to build:
1. Install Maemo SDK. (also apt-get install python2.5)
2. Follow these instructions: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/Fennec
3. Use "ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile/xul" instead of "ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile" in your mozconfig.
4. After you run "make package", change directories to "objdir/mobile/xul/installer" and run "make deb".

general.skins.selectedSkin
It can be set to:
"classic/1.0"
"gingerbread/1.0"
"honeycomb/1.0"
The last theme works only for tablets for now. Classic is what you see by default. Thanks for mbrubeck for the hint.

I never saw a performance difference between GTK and Qt builds so I think any opinion on the matter is purely subjective.
In regards to a binary build, I tried one and it failed to link properly. I won't be spending time on correcting it, but you're more than able to try yourself.
Regarding javascript, 6.0-tracemonkey is slightly faster than the rest, and about 12% faster than opera.
EDIT: Finished javascript benchmark with 12.0a1. It is 25% slower than 6.0a1-tracemonkey. So it is affected by the JIT change in 9.0
NOTE: In 9.0 the JIT was finally changed, but also was disabled in non SSE2 cpu's (at least in X86). In late 12.0 builds it has been reenabled again, but all FPU operations are done in slow C++ code in non SSE2 cpu's, resulting in a 25% slowdown.
So, I think the best release for N900 may be 8.0.1-qt with tracemonkey if possible.

I have built Fennec 8.0.1 and indeed find that sunspider is faster over version 12. I have uploaded the deb and updated the first post to the link to it. Fennec 8.0.1 will probably be the last built worth building if the JIT is going to stay slow in non-android-native builds.
