Are you comparing IE 9 to Firefox 4.0, or Firefox 3.6?
I'm comparing to Firefox 3.6; Firefox 4.0 isn't released yet. But everything I've read indicates that Firefox 4.0 will still have a single-process, non-low-integrity process model, with all the security and reliability implications that go with it. Hopefully Firefox 4 will catch up to the likes of Chrome and Safari (and IE 9) in terms of JavaScript performance, judging by benchmarks on the release candidate, but I ha…
Understandable, but still, when it comes to comparing how IE 9 stacks up to "Firefox" on rendering engines and memory usage, it doesn't seem particularly meaningful to compare the brand new IE 9 to the old Firefox just because IE 9 released a single week before the next major revision of Firefox is slated to. Not that you were writing a New York Times article here or anything. :)
I certainly understand your other point about the single-process design.

#53"If you’re an Internet Explorer fan..." Wait what? I was under the impression that most people use IE either because its installed by default or they are forced by their corporate overloads. Do people actually use IE because they really liked it after comparing it with other options?
As someone once told me, "Internet Explorer is the application I use to download Firefox"
For me, the rare times when I'm on Windows, this has become, "Internet Explorer is the application I use to download Ninite".

Seriously firefox should use multi threading per tab!
I mean common most if not all the browsers are already doing it arent they?.
