beatnikpad.com — The developer of the optimised Firefox builds (for G5 and Intel Mac) has released optimised builds of Firefox 2.0.0.1 on his blog, BeatnikPad. Updates include tweaks to the aqua widgets (other than Firefoxy) and a change of name from BonEcho to Firefox. Enjoy!

Perhaps the PPC code is removed, making it smaller in filesize. I haven't read the article - so maybe optimized is performance wise...

Loads in 3 bounces MAX for me now... and if I quit it and reopen within 10 min or so .. half a bounce.. my macbook is happier :)
