IE on Windows (without taking into account the security issues with it) is definitely much faster and improved compared to IE on the Mac. I find it a chore to browse using IE on the Mac. Then again, I find it a chore to use IE at all since it doesn't support a lot of the stuff all the other "alternative" browsers already do.

But the best way to find out what's best for you is to try it out yourself. Just a note: if you think you'll get the same benefits from the Mac IE that you had on the Windows IE, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's basically treated by those IE-only sites as the unwanted child (yeah, it's a hard analogy especially since I'm a parent myself, but it's the truth in this respect).
