  I think that "toolchain" is a misnomer here.  It has a specific
meaning in the *nix world.  The uzbl "toolchain" seems more like your
own set of Firefox extensions.

  Would you believe... fsync() being called "early and often" to flush
SQLite databases, and in the process, *BLOCKING ALL OTHER DISK I/O* for
several seconds at a time?  For an explanation, see webpage...
http://aplawrence.com/Web/firefox-sqlite.html

  And getting rid of "Abortion-Bar" and returning to the FF2.x auto
complete mode (*URLS ONLY*), would by itself be worth the effort as far
as I'm concerned.
