I've got an EEE Netbook with Intel Atom processor and Win XP.

Probably 90% of the time I'm using it for webbrowsing and thinking of dual booting it in Linux and then booting into Windows only when I need to...if it would speed things up.

I've tried using FF and Chrome, both are about equally slow on the netbook.

Anyone have any idea of the comparative stats on this?
