it's definitely more than just 0.001, and it's not just the speed of loading web pages, the switching between tabs is slow and it just feels sluggish compared to Opera.

IE7 FTW!! 
And I am testing it thoroughly ... 3 IE windows or so open with at least 10-15 tabs open on each, and not plain html sites, a lotta active stuff ...
Only managed to crash it a couple of times ... this after not restarting for 1-2 weeks ... on a laptop ... which I travel with.

awww, cute!
I have only been having problems since installing the official IE7 release. Browser crashes regulalry, sometimes freezing Win XP to the point that I have to reset the PC.
Have noticed that when opening a page with a lot of referenced content (e.g. Youtube video links) all open tabs in the window freezes. If I keep on clicking the tabs - the IE7 bombs completely, closing all open instances with no error message.
Have been using Firefox for the past couple of weeks with none of these problems.
I am running IE7 on Win XP Pro with 2GB ram. Anyone else having similar problems?

Opera 9 for me. I hate IE7 and it is slow. I only have a GPRS connection and there is a noticable difference when opening pages, which is measureable in seconds (sometimes 10 seconds or more difference). It's more difficult to notice on faster connections, though.
It's fine for computers to automatically download and install IE7 in countries such as the USA where practically everyone has a cheap, fast broadband connection and an up to date system, but it's a real disaster in SA.
At my father's place of employment, many of the PC's still run Windows 98, which is incompatible with IE7, yet those PCs all automatically updated to IE7, which caused Windows to freeze. Since IE7 is one of the applications included in the startup and an integral part of many critical OS features such as the desktop and File Exporer, Windows could no longer be started, except in Safe Mode. It was a huge disaster, since Windows does not allow one to "downgrade" to a lower version of IE - it simply won't install again!

with 3GB of ram FF doesn't dent my resources. I will stick to FF. IE7 caused me to reinstall windows XP when i did install it.
IE7 on Vista seemed better, but then Vista was rubbish. ah you just cant win.
solution buy more ram.
