IE8 out performs FF 3.5 in Spiceworks 4.5!

According to one of the latest news articles from Spiceworks IE8 now out performs FireFox 3.5!
Its great to see speed improvements in Spiceworks but I was personally shocked by this one. It appears Spiceworks works faster in IE8 than it does Firefox, of course IE7 is still way behind.
Who knows how they fully managed it, could it be that the IE version has less functionality? It definitely doesn’t look as pretty, the corners in IE8 are square were Firefox they are rounded.

I certainly prefer the look and feel of it in Firefox.
So considering Firefox renders these nice corners I can allow for that small speed bump.
