I think ones time would be better spent evangelizing against the ignorance of people using really old slow and intrinsically inferior browsers ... than worrying about and frustrating ones self about their performance in complex web applications IE6 is literally magnitudes slower than modern browsers on the same machine when it was written years and years ago it was unchallenged and nobody thought you could do anything interesting programattically in the browser ... it is also a dying beast already less common than ie7. (which is patched but inferior too ... just not as inferior which is why we are seeing ie8 so soon...) The browsers wars are on dude.
