My machine: 2.4GHz CPU, 1G RAM, WindowsXP (SP2). Nothing much running at this point: Thunderbird, Firefox (5 tabs, one using the demo), VS 2003 (for a small project, less than 50 classes), one Explorer, AVG, Virtual DAEMON manager, that is. Most services turned off. No messenger, no junk. And running on corporate network, on a saturday morning (2 persons in office). Probably the demo server is too loaded, probably the connection from my place to the demo server has a long latency, but the first impression was not very good. UI looks great though. Never work with Ajax before, any way to improve that?

Could you let us know what version of FF you are using? Also is it consuming CPU when it no activity is happening in the client or when you are interacting with the ciient (e.g. clicking on the inbox)

Thanks
