You commented that I used an average value, so just for the record:

Based on my manual notes, here are the individual test results where
each browser are started alternately (i.e. IE, FF, IE, FF ...) after
first doing a clean reboot of Windows:

IE Firefox
--------- ---------
Test #1 (Internet Explorer): 1.60 sec
Test #2 (Firefox): 6.18 sec
Test #3 (Internet Explorer): 0.85 sec
Test #4 (Firefox): 2.82 sec
Test #5 (Internet Explorer): 2.66 sec
Test #6 (Firefox): 2.52 sec
Test #7 (Internet Explorer): 0.92 sec
Test #8 (Firefox): 1.89 sec
Test #9 (Internet Explorer): 0.81 sec
Test #10 (Firefox): 2.37 sec
--------- ---------
Average: 1.37 sec 3.16 sec

Is that actually loading a home page or just getting a browser window
without loading a page?
You may be looking at net latency. My Firefox seems to load in less
than 2 seconds going to Privatelee.com as a home page.
Occasionally it takes several seconds tho and when it does you see it
is waiting for the page to load.

For me I just waited for the screen to open. I have google news as home, and that often takes a few
more seconds.
