Umm. No, when I try it in Firefox its more like 4-5 minutes. There is a 
lot trying to load through that page, and.. Chrome takes a bit of time 
to do it, but even loading just "one" shader, on its own page, in 
Firefox lags like hell. Figure.. 20-40 second "per" shader, and the main 
page has like 12 on it (just checked), so, at minimum it ends up taking 
2 minutes minutes, or worse. But, no Chrome handles the page **way** 
better than Firefox does.
