We now have a first glimpse at the direction Internet Explorer will take in its 9th iteration, and it's pretty much what you'd expect.
While Firefox, Chrome, and Safari are constantly trying to break barriers in JavaScript performance and rendering speed, and better support for standards, Microsoft is proud to say that IE9 will continue its long standing tradition of being the slowest browser around. They wouldn't want to deprive the web of a baseline for comparison, now would they?
Internet Explorer 9 will bring you improperly rendered web pages more than thrice as fast as IE8. The currently build of Internet Explorer 9 will redefine the way people measure browsers, leaving Firefox, Safari and Chrome only 2 to 4 times faster then IE instead of dozens.
Standards compliance is important for IE9, and Microsft claims work is being done. Yet it boasts an Acid3 score of 32/100, and its standards compliance is beaten down by even Mozilla Firebird -- one of the early versions of what would become Firefox -- back in 2004, 5 years ago, which has a score of 34/100.
