Wait a minute though, you "accepted" the numbers they got with
Win2K and the high-end machine. ;-)

I don't disagree that IE has a very distinct advantage in
regards to startup times, but *none* of the results they're
showing are in reference to startup. Their graphs show the
times for loading cached pages, nested tables, mixed test and
graphics, and a java-related test.
