   I don't know what you mean by "IE's helper load".  Simply, if firefox =
startup is slower than IE's then it is not as efficient.  The firefox =
folks should optimize it, at least if it is important to them.

  Thanks for that info. If DLLs actually constitute the bulk of IE's =
helper
  load, and you're not just playing semantics with us, Microsoft is =
using some
  good filesystem optimizations in its load process.  IE's load time is =
not just
  dramatically shorter, it's nearly an order of magnitude shorter =
(haven't
  measured it).
