   This reviewer   
      
   was puzzled by spectacularly bad performance from the latest release   
   candidate of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, until he realized he was running   
   the 64-bit version. Switching to 32-bit gave a major boost in performance.   
      
   Why? Because Microsoft is building the two versions with different   
   JavaScript engines. Still haven’t figured out 64-bit portability, eh...
