The slow page load in either Firefox or Browse is usually helped quite a bit
by disabling ipv6.  In a (recent) Browse activity or Firefox, enter
about:config in the address bar.  Type ipv6 in the filter bar.  The
Preference Name you're looking for is "network.dns.disableIPv6."  Double
click it to set the value to true.  That usually helps page load speed quite
a bit.

If activities seems really slow when they're shared over the XS versus the
XO-1 mesh, I don't know what that might be other than the throughput of your
AP.  If you suspect your XS setup, you can always connect to my test XS 0.6
running a "semi-public" Jabber to see if there's a difference.  In fact,
we've just been testing joining the XO Chat activity with regular XMPP
clients like Pidgin and Gajim.  Send me a private email if you'd like the
URL.  And that goes for anyone who's interested, not just Gerald.
