   It's a common old wives tale.  IE components are not preloaded.  IE =
actually loads more DLLs than firefox.  If firefox is slow it is because =
it is doing something slow or it's just doing alot.

  A gecko-family browser will always be slower starting (much slower the =

loaded,

  I found Firefox's pulldowns slowish on a slow machine.  They're =

vs. the
  0.9 versions - they must have said byebye to a lot of debug code.
