"Pale Moon" shares your current Firefox profile (a portable version is also available if you don't want that) and you can use both Firefox and "Pale Moon" without changing anything permanently, benchmarking both in PeaceKeeper Browser Benchmark yielded following results :

Firefox 3.6 PeaceMaker Score
