There's a slight difference, let's do a quick litmus test:

BBC News homepage:

Win XPSP2
FF(v3.0.13): 2.5sec
IE8: 6

Google.co.uk

FF: 1.5
IE8: 0.6

Arstechnica

FF: 2.8
IE8: 4

El Reg

FF: 3
IE8: 4.5

Something a little more script heavy:

http://www.dibusoft.com/
FF: 9
IE8: 5

Hmm.

Yeah, it's crap!

Some pages won't even bother loading. If I switch to Safari, no probs!

Ie 8

Seems very slow to me. Every time I load a page, there's a delay of a few seconds before it becomes responsive. Looked in task manager and it seems to have a very large memory footprint compared to Firefox. Same page loads fine with Firefox. Anyone else had problems?
