"Full speed" and no problems in IE6 on my machines.

The IE-expressions that I use as workaround, are non-valid CSS -
proprietary Microsoft "scripting-in-CSS", so that design would probably
not make it into the zengarden with any of those on board.

If a machine is low on speed and resources, then IE-expressions can "eat
up" resources and slow it noticeable down over time.
Have only noticed such effects if I have a dozen or more IE6 windows
open over longer periods - an hour or so, on one of my slower machines.

It's a tradeoff. Either you want IE6 on board despite the potential
problems, or you accept that it is to old. Anyway, it is better to leave
IE6 behind if too many expressions are needed for _simulating_ proper
CSS support in such an old browser.

I want IE6 on board, so I add IE-expressions to simulate 'position:
fixed' and a few other non-supported layout-details whenever I see the
need - like for my home-pages...
