I don't understand why or how a web browser could significantly add any time 
to how long it takes to show a web page.  Surely, 99% of the time is spend 
waiting for the content, and 1% spent arranging the page and rendering it? 
If pages loaded with FF repeatedly take 0.5 seconds longer to load than IE8, 
then it seems like there are some serious bottlenecks in the FF engine...
