Wow, it's like the red light district around here with all the M$ apologists prostituting themselves. IE is the plague of the internet and needs nothing more than to be taken behind the woodshed and shot to death. Of course M$ doesn't want JavaScript performance to increase - it might create creative competition for their pointless idiotic silvercrap bull.

Javascript dominates many of the social websites, including facebook. If a browser can be optimized for facebook , it will likely work well elsewhere. If you look at the source javascript for a facebook page, you will see what I mean. It is voluminous.
