I just want to tell you that 3.5 version is very fast too. I've tested it on different computer (both with Fedora 11) and it works like a charm.
And for the patch:
I've read somewhere (can't remember where, sorry) that Firefox 3 had issue with artifacts when page was resized, that's why Mozilla Devs tried a workaround that made the pages look great but killed the performance when the page was resized. This seems to be dropped as I can see artifacts again in Firefox 3.5, but it boosted the performance.
Also, resize speed is much faster because of a lot better font caching.
