If you have any influence over the choice of browser, IE7 should no longer be used.
But the basic problem is simply the quality of the JavaScript engines in the various browsers. To see this, go to this page in IE7, IE8, Chrome, and Firefox and compare the results: http://webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html http://webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9.1/sunspider-0.9.1/driver.html If your application runs a lot of client-side (JavaScript) code, then the performance on any given browser will be a factor of the speed of that browser's JavaScript engine. In my most recent testing on Windows XP, that boils down to: Assign a relative speed of 1X to Chrome and Opera; they are comparable. Firefox 3.6.13 is about 3X. IE8 is about 21X.
