Well get the admin to unban him and see - some how I don't think we've finished with him yet.

* Download speed of what? A file? That has nothing to do with the browser. It has to do with your bandwidth limit of your internet connection.
There's actually some interesting things in this area. FF checks for ipv6 DNS first so it's slower to resolve domain names. However, it supports HTTP pipelining, which I've noticed does make a good difference when loading pages with lots of external objects (e.g. images) - all the objects are requested at once and come up faster. HTTP pipelining is disabled by default though, because it doesn't work with some (non-standard?) web-servers, but I've never had a problem with it.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

He was abusing the reputation system by basically giving out negatives to anyone who posts.

...except they come up as "balance" instead of negative - I like that rep system!

There's more

We shouldn't have banned him, I don't think he deserves the satisfaction of adding us to his banned list, plus I had fun picking his arguments to pieces.
