    Ie 8

    Seems very slow to me. Every time I load a page, there's a delay of a few seconds before it becomes responsive. Looked in task manager and it seems to have a very large memory footprint compared to Firefox. Same page loads fine with Firefox. Anyone else had problems?

    Yeah, it's crap!

    Some pages won't even bother loading. If I switch to Safari, no probs!

      There's a slight difference, let's do a quick litmus test:

      BBC News homepage:

      Win XPSP2
      FF(v3.0.13): 2.5sec
      IE8: 6

      Google.co.uk

      FF: 1.5
      IE8: 0.6

      Arstechnica

      FF: 2.8
      IE8: 4

      El Reg

      FF: 3
      IE8: 4.5

      Something a little more script heavy:

      http://www.dibusoft.com/
      FF: 9
      IE8: 5

      Hmm.
