PCXFirefox and Lawlietfox are third party firefox builds. You could say they are cousins to the Tete Atelier build's because they share some patches and optimizations.
PCXfirefox is the fastest of the three and sometimes has extra features the official builds don't have like Google WebP support, but it's only updated every other version.
Lawlietfox is faster or slower than Tete's depending on the benchmark.
Tete Atelier builds seem to be in the middle in performance and the most stable.
Lawliet offers 32/64bit builds and PCXFirefox sometimes has x64 builds too.
All three of them benchmark faster and feel snappier than the popular Palemoon and Waterfox. At least on my ancient 6 year old core2duo.
There's doesn't seem to be a many benchmarks comparing them. I found a random article and some post on the palemoon forums.

Since the benchmarks I came across are old. I'm interested in seeing how current versions stack up against official builds and palemoon. The difference's are probably less noticeable on high end computers.
I like to use them portably with the PA.C firefox launcher. Simply by replacing the contents of App/Firefox folder with any of the 3rd party builds. PCXFirefox has Tete's portable mode available as well. But the PA.C launcher makes it easy to run multiple versions simultaneously.
