If it's a vote... i would keep chromium. I always keep both browsers 
"just in case", but "my" benchmarks on my old pentium 3 can't tell any 
real difference with just one tab opened. Start time, firefox seems a 
little bit slower to start.

I'll run some "benchmarks" in the next days in the following machine: 
1000mhz, 512ram (Pentium3).

Still, you should take a look at the dependencies too... my guess is 
that we should keep chromium in this case (i believe that firefox 
installs some nautilus stuff)

Ps: when it will be "ready" we could try Midori (it's the faster browser 
i can try on my old machine!). But really... when it will be *ready* to 
use!!
