Even with hardware acceleration in IE9 and Firefox 4 enabled, Firefox 4 is still faster than IE9:

Unlike on OSX, IE can only use publicly disclosed APIs. Anything IE can do, Firefox can also do in Windows. On OSX Safari can, in theory, access acceleration that no one else can. Although I don't know if they do.
