Me too, the time it takes to initially load a link is really long compared to Chrome, even on a quad core mobile device. I hope they resolve this soon.
I don't think so. It happens all the time. Even when I just have about:blank open, and go to something like ddg.gg or google.com, it's like the browser hangs for a couple of seconds, then it loads the page really quick. It's that initial hang that is really aggravating.
