Just in case you feel the need for browser speed, you should have a look at this demo at the end of the page presented by Steven Sinofsky (President of the Windows Division) and Dean Hachamovitch (General Manager, Internet Explorer).

It is interesting to note that they don’t tell what kind of hardware they are using. My guess is that these are low-end machines because otherwise the differences wouldn’t be so obvious.
