It's Still in BETA
There's no sense in trying to measure peformance in BETA software. That's what BETA is all about -- identifying and fixing bugs. Those bugs, when swatted, will improve stability and performance at least in theory.

And while Firefox 3 is a BIT faster loading most pages, saying that IE is "10 times slower" than any other browser is simply absurd on its face. When you make outlandish claims such as that, you marginalize the remainder of any arguments that you wish to raise.

The alleged goal is adherence to published standards. Time will tell how well that IE does that though the fact that it messes up legacy pages coded specifically for earlier version of IEs closed standards bodes well in that direction.
