I hope you are not using IE6 anymore and hence you do not have to read on. Skip this post please!

Oh! You are still reading. Well for my work, I had to test our webapp in IE6 as well. While doing so, I noticed that IE6 was extremely slow ( Okay! I am not comparing with firefox/safari. only with IE7 ). I started to wonder about it until I came across MS hotfix for IE6 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942840 ). After updating IE6 with this hotfix, IE6 was comparable to IE7 ( and infact I found it faster. Again, not comparing with firefox ).

So if you still using IE6, you may consider this hotfix for faster IE6!

Infact why are using IE6? Go on, upgrade! get IE8 or firefox…
