Working on a web-based IT project in education (https://tg.esf.edu.hk). Performance on my machine degraded drastically over a two week period, but no one else had the same problem.

Through a process of elimination I determined that SP3 was causing the problem, but only with FF3, not with IE7, and only with wireless, not with a wired connection.

Seems to have same problem on other sites (digg.com, yahoo.com)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FF3
2. Install Extended Statusbar Addon (allows measuring of load time, but not to do with the problem as far as I can tell)
3. Upgrade XP to SP3.
4. Load https://tg.esf.edu.hk
5. Note that loadtime goes from 1-5 seconds before, to 10-20 seconds after.
Actual Results:  
SLOW!

Expected Results:  
FAST!

I love Firefox and Mozilla. Keep up the good work!
