does fixing this enable you dogfood debug builds?

I apologize, I think that came out snarky, it wasn't mean to be.  :-)

I'm not expecting it to be a magic bullet. Where do you suggest I start?

By profiling a debug build and see where we spend our time in in the workflows that are unacceptably important to you, and then filing bugs about them. I have to admit that I have never been brave enough to dogfood debug builds myself as my daily browser, but if some people have been and builds today are too slow for them, we should definitely fix them! I don't really know much about your workflow and which things in what websites are too slow to prevent you from using the builds, so gathering some profiling information would be very helpful for people to find out where they can help.

The Gecko Profiler should be able to do a decent job at that, and it enables you to upload the profiles so that others can look at them, please see <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Performance/Profiling_with_the_Built-in_Profiler> if you have never used it before.

Cheers,
Ehsan
