on the 20100208 wma4 build running on my omnia2, I found that it was not working very well until I deleted my profile and ran it again.

Joel and Brad, I'm not sure what to make of this bug. It's clear that using a new
profile over a used profile will make performance better. Is there a specific
problem that you want to have fixed?

good question.  This should be a relnote for this release, but something for us to keep in mind and try to get a repro in the future.  

What I experienced was a LOT of crashing (about 1/3 of the pages) and a lot of performance issues surround the awesomebar and input into the urlbar and text fields.  With a fresh profile things worked somewhat reasonable so I could test and use the browser.

This year we mothballed windows mobile development.  See:

Marking bugs in the windows mobile / windows ce bucket as WONTFIX.
