In the History prefpane, we say "Cached pages load more quickly than ..." The correct form is "quicker" - see http://www.answers.com/quicker Reproducible: Always
The first issue is irrelevant since that will be changed to location bar per bug 325880. The second issue I believe is a UK vs US English issue. Either way, "more quickly" is less awkward in this situation per "IRC." Marking a dupe of the meta-ish bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 325880 ***

hm, i thought that one word is generally less awk, esp when we're talking about a more+adj construction. as for uk vs us, hmmm, no, not really. i just talked with a friend of mine who's a linguistics major at uc berkeley, and essentially, "quicker" means that one loads faster than the other, whereas "more quickly" implies that both are quick, but one is "more" quick than the other, i.e. my ferrari got there more quickly than your porche. as a totally different wording, why not just say "faster"?
