Well, the only reason Microb starts up so quickly is that it is kept constantly preloaded into memory; in other words, it cheats.

I'm running Firefox 1.1 on my N900, and it takes just under 10 seconds to start up. The more recent Firefox beta versions improve on this.

I haven't noticed any problems with scrolling, though. I'm not seeing any slowdowns of the machine as a whole, either. What kind of web pages are you using it on?
