Sounds much like what happens with the OS (not running fast enough? then buy a faster processor).

I wonder how much faster one of the other (already faster) web browsers would run if they managed the same trick?!]]>Nov 20th 2009 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/Nov 20th 2009 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/
Not really the truth. MS is shifting from CPU to GPU rendering - NOT using both, but using mainly the GPU of your system. Other than that, the chart only shows a pre-Alpha Version of IE9. MS promises the IE9 will pass the ACID3 test completely and be at least as fast as the competition. If that turns out to be true, MS will finally be back in the ring and we will have 5 good browsers competing against each others - a good example of how competition results in more value.]]>Nov 20th 2009 5:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/Nov 20th 2009 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/

exactly, opening a new blank tab in ie8 is way slower than opening chrom + loading a new page. I think they should work on opening a new tab quickly first before adding stuffs to speed up rendering.]]>Nov 20th 2009 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/
Shifting graphics rendering to your GPU will improve performance (an example given at PDC was dragging a map to a new location).]]>Nov 20th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/internet-explorer-9-to-sport-gpu-acceleration-and-html5-support/

while playing the same video, on chrome i'll get frequent pauses to buffer the stream, but on ie8, the buffering is ahead of the stream.

Who cares if your javascript is 20% faster? If I can't block out 70% of the javascripts that bog down the page, it's still slower!

The power of FF is its community, something no other browsers can even hold a candle to. There are currently around 5000 extensions (addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/) And 1.7 Billion downloads!
