I had been noticing that while it has been working just fine for every other website I visit, Internet Explorer was really bogging down on any Invision Board site -- most specifically, UMSF. It was taking a good 30 seconds to move from one page to another. I'm certain it's an issue with IE on my own machine, since I can access UMSF nice and fast on other machines.

So, when I went out to download the latest Google Earth update (complete with 3D Mars!), I found the GE update link also included an option to dl Google Chrome. So, I downloaded it.

This thing just rips through UMSF! Very fast page-turns. Looks just fine and nothing I've run across here yet has failed to load.

So, while I still use IE for most of my browsing, I'm now using Google Chrome exclusively for UMSF.

Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
