I was surprised to see an article by Scott in beta news website, where he mentions that the Security fixes, and JavaScript update will bog down IE8. He mentions in the article that they have noticed a trend of IE8 performance dragging down over time, while every other major Windows browser in the field was headed the other direction — and fast. Early this month, when Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 appeared imminent (and still is at this moment), we calculated the performance difference between IE8 and IE7 at about 75%.

However, after installing the security fixes that was released in the month of October, and the update for Microsoft’s JavaScript (JScript) engine, the performance has averaged down to 54%.

I hope Microsoft will further look in at these issues and present a browser which will compete with other browsers.
