Max may have more details or better intuition, but almost certainly
one of the problems is that the garbage collector in ie6 is very
badly mis-tuned. Someone told me that there is a hot fix for ie6 that
improves GC performance, but I haven't verified that tip yet.

My problem is with ie6 because it's so slow it's not a good
experience for users of dhtml sites. Gmail can cope with it

that's when multiple runtimes will be usefull, I wish I didn't have
to but ie6 sucks bigtime. And a lot of people, companies, schools
won't upgrade to 7 in a year or so is my guess. Currently I have a
nice test setup. Ubuntu: opera, mozilla, firefox, konqueror, and
with VMWare I got: Safari 3, ie6(used multiple-ies to install) ,
ie7 and win firefox. Sometimes graphics look a little different on
windows firefox than linux one...
