Very Strange - i just downloaded another IE 9 video with 1MB/s, this video downloads with just 18 KB/s

My location is Austria/Europe, something wrong with with the azure CDN ?

I can open about 15-20 tabs in either firefox or IE and use about 300mb of RAM.

Chrome, I open 3 tabs, and it uses about 700mb of RAM.

Utter trash, I put it on my old P4 1.5 because everyone was telling me how great it was, and how little resources it used. Straight back to firefox and IE.

Hmm.., I don't see security issue being address in IE9 or perhaps its not cover in this post. With ever growing importance of the Internet, is security being addressed the least?

I was found more discussion about it,. I just wanna say I know its too easy to pick on IE, so its just a matter of hoping that they will release a browser now thats not full with all kind of bugs,.
