About the case of Ed Spruiell, where the 600 MHz iMac is faster than the 400 MHz one, I would say that it is not a problem of the processor speed. I think that it's because the browsers use a part of your RAM and HD as a cache and if the disk is very full, or very fragmented or you don't have much RAM, obviously, it would behave slower.

IE 5.1 is still faster in 9.2.1 than 10.1.2 on slow machines, though. Please, Apple, please! I can't afford a dual G4, ok?
