That’s right, dog-slow. The much-vaunted Firefox/Chrome killer is only fit
for 32-bit use.

And for some reason, this gets the Windows fans really riled up...

The problem is with you dog squeeze, because you have two-bits in your
head that work. The other 30 bits you have shorted-out long ago.

Shoo, fly don't bother people, shoo fly -- idiot.

So at least you not admit that there is a 64-bit version of IE.


Here they compare IE9 32 vs 64 bit.
<quote>
Internet Explorer 9 Total (ms)
32 bit 133.7
64 bit 87.28

So here you have it, with the exception of few tests, Internet Explorer 9
(64 bit) pretty much destroys its 32 bit brother.

And here are "overall" (not only Javascript) performance results:

Overall Scores
Here's how that would shake out, if the competition included cold starts,
nine-tab loading, JavaScript, DOM/CSS and memory use.

1) Opera: 76%
2) Chrome 10 (Stable): 76%
3) Chrome 11 (Dev): 68%
4) Firefox 4: 60%
5) Internet Explorer 9 (64-bit): 24%
6) Internet Explorer 9 (32-bit): 28%

Maybe if they spent less time worrying about DRM and such, they
wouldn't produce such slop.

Re: "Larry" is slow. (as in retarded)

You shouldn't talk about your buddy "Hadron" like that, "Ezekiel".

"Hadron" responds: Total rubbish. You clearly have no idea about OSS.

Olive Oil is a slippery one!

Wasn't his original claim that IE9 users were stuck with a 32 bit
program?

He sure moved the goal posts around on that one.

flatfish+++ submitted this idea :

To be fair - when you install the 64-bit version, it actually installs
the 32-bit and 64-bit version of IE9 and sets the default version to
the 32-bit version. That's what get's pinned to the task bar.

The reason is mainly plugins - not all of them work in the 64-bit
version. So, for now, MS still defaults you to the 32-bit version.
You won't see the 64-bit unless you actually go looking for it.

And the goal posts fell on him and crushed poor little Olive Oil.

For anyone else who reads this...

Actually IE 32 bit is much faster than 64 bit IE. It uses the newer Javascript engine. Check the link above.
