Beta news puts Microsoft's claim that it load pages faster and that javascript speed isn't everything.
It's funny that on the one hand IE8 is faster than IE7, but on the other hand it's still one of the slowest of the new browsers.
And wtf is up with pointing a video camera at a computer to measure page load times? Seriously? Should we also all own digital cameras so we can take "screen shots" and upload them to the support forums when things go wrong?
Oh, and that article led me to this interesting wiki:
