I don't have IE9 installed and therefore can't verify the benchmark results. If they are genuine, I'm having a hard time coming up with a different conclusion.

By the way, hilarious idea to make this into a bug report.

EDIT: of course I find it much easier to believe that someone at Microsoft optimized for the benchmark than that someone at Mozilla would fudge the timing results, especially when it's so easy to verify the claims.

Actually, the MS guys requested that. I'm sure there's a lesson about soulless bureaucracies somewhere in there...

Bugs are more likely to get fixed if they are posted somewhere visible, instead of sitting in someone's inbox...
