Others can chime in, but partly it depends on the exact reason for slowness.
Generally, Torbrowser is slower than vanilla Fx (but not always), due to 
the network.
I've noticed that varies greatly for day of the week & time of day.

The Privoxy part of the chain could be an issue.  What is your reason 
for using Privoxy?
In general, I find Tor to be faster overall, since overhauls in 
TorBrowser - when they stopped using Privoxy (& likely started other 
speed increasing methods).
Other network changes could be partly responsibility for increased speed.
