If you encounter a misconfigured VISE installer you can bypass the stupidity by using AppleScript like:
tell application "badly configured installer" to doinstall
It will install without quitting the apps.
As for Explorer itself the primary reason it's faster is probably due to fiddling with the event handling which was tuned for MacOS. Unfortunately it appears they are still using the Event Manager instead of Carbon events. This means polling and other evils which leads to using idle CPU and less responsiveness.
Unfortunately all other browsers suck, they have horrible interfaces! Explorer is the only browser to get drag+drop right.
How embarassing.
