However, JavaScript usually is interpreted line by line during running has caused longer time needed for responding. TaceMonkey or known as just-in-time compiler, is designed to only concentrate on translating selected high-priority portion of software. It finds loop of repeated activity where program often spend lot of time, then compile into native instructions the computer can understand, eventually improves the web browsing performance significantly. Although TraceMonkey is off in Firefox 3.1 by default as it is not entirely bug-free, but you can turn this feature on to have a try and to make web browsing faster by changing the value in the configuration settings with only a few simple steps.
