There's still a fair bit of work to be done. I've been using the 3.5 Preview
and now the 3.5 RC and it is indeed faster. You can notice that. The
remaining problem is the extensions. There are still a number of pretty
important ones that are not yet compatible with 3.5. User Agent Switcher,
DictionarySearch and Page Speed, are three that come to mind. I guess
they'll be ready by the time 3.5 goes official. Other than that, I'm quite
pleased.
