IIRC, in IE the output of this kind of script doesn't go to screen until
it has finished executing. It seems that Mozilla tries to always refresh
the screen and it means a lot of changes while in IE it only makes a
refresh at the end of the script.
If you want to make the page update while the script is executing in IE
you must use a timeout so that one part of the code ends, IE refresh the
screen and go on with the script when the timer activates again.
