Hi there,
I am running various browsers on my CentOS 6.5. Firefox is running smoothly, especially with blocking flash animations. I recently installed Opera and I use Seamonkey for long, both suffers from being very slow. Does CentOS have any role in this? For your information I send cpuinfo, some people on #centos said that this could be the problem -- but then why Firefox flies?

64-bit x86 was invented by AMD (AMD64) and then adopted by Intel (EM64T). I've used more AMD CPUs than Intel over the years and I've always had great perforrmance. So unless you provide more specifics the claim that the AMD CPU is to blame is BS I'd venture to say.
Second, you say nothing about the amount of RAM you have and how many apps open at once. Could very well be that your system is out of RAM and starts paging to disk.
In other words, without more details it'll be all speculation on our side, we'd be shooting in the dark. Can you please provide more details on your hardware config, how many apps are open at once, amount of RAM, etc.? What you mean by "slow" (page rendering on screen?).
Thanks in advance.
