Browser Speed Tests: Firefox 4, Internet Explorer 9, Chrome 11, and More

It's been quite a month for browsers, with Internet Explorer and Firefox both dropping big new versions, and Chrome and Opera continuing their regular improvements. We tested all these browsers' startup and tab-loading times, JavaScript powers, and memory use for your fast-minded enjoyment. Update: With 32-versus-64-bit IE 9 results.
We've been doing browser speed tests for some time now, and we've got a particular way of doing them. It's part user experience, with manually timed start-up and tab-load tests, and partly based on JavaScript and CSS tests that combine parts of the popular benchmark frameworks used by Apple, Mozilla, Chrome, and other browsers to pump up their releases. For this session, we're trying out the brand-spanking-new Firefox 4, along with the much more web-friendly Internet Explorer 9, and the latest iterations of both Chrome and Opera.
