I found the 0.9.7 that was on the Mozilla site very slow as well,
not to mention having to add a few symlinks to oddly named library
versions. However, the current snapshots (mine is from Thursday
night last week), are astonishing improvements. I'm even contemplating
building it on my Sparc 5 once an official 0.9.9 tarball is
avaliable - just means I'll have to leave it churning away for a few
days!

I've not figured that one out either. I'm planning on looking at the
Mozilla site tonight in the hope that there's a packagers guide.
