I can't really speak to the Windows (FF/Chrome) -> Linux (FF) switch, but I have seen so many Windows setups that 100%-CPU-loop for unknown (likely browser unrelated) reasons that I would not be surprised if people considered switching to what I experience now a major improvement :)

I didn't say it's unusable. But these things matter. If you get constantly annoyed by such things and you know that with Chromium this annoyance would stop, it is no surprise people use Chromium a lot and claim it's "faster". If we want them to be happy Firefox users, this has to be fixed.
