You are using 1.0.4, not 1.0.6?

The reports so far seem to be pretty consistent that people who are
using 1.0.4 have reasonable render times. People who are using 1.0.6
from Fedora have horrible render times.

Well, this is an interesting data point:
Fedora Core 4 x86_64 on Athlon 64 2.0 GHz (3200+)
firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4.i386 (so it's 32-bit firefox)
render time ~7 or 8 sec
For comparison, a 64-bit browser:
mozilla-1.7.10-1.5.1.x86_64
render time ~3 to ~5 sec
