Internet Explorer still has a MUCH better rendering engine (especially in terms of speed). Firefox is too annoying waiting for the rendering of a page to occur.

Interesting. I have two PCs and run Firefox on both. As a comparison, pages open noticably much faster than do those when I use IE.

The Firefox page will do an initial load faster than IE, but it loses the race when going to get the graphics and multimedia for the page. It takes longer for Firefox to generate the 100% complete page. I'm guessing that Firefox is written in Java, which would account for the slight decrease in speed.
