My own computer never agrees with these benchmarks. For me IE starts up way faster (2-3 secs) than Firefox (5+ secs). Btw, does it annoy anybody else that to view the print version you need have an account.

It annoys me more to have the ad follow me on the right hand side. I like supporting ad-driven websites, but why not used position: fixed instead of a bouncy JS animation?

  Position fixed doesn't work in IE6. (But it's better to use it in browsers that support it, of course.)

    Yes, but if you check out the site they don't just update the position to mimic fixed, they "bounce" it into place.

Just a guess, but is IE preloading in the background?
- dflock 17y ago
  IE pre-loads at Windows start-up, effectively. If browser start-up time bothers you, there is a fast start-up pre-load thing for Firefox. Personally I just load Chromium when I login and leave it open until the next restart, possibly weeks away.
