Internet Explorer performance across versions 6 - 8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We are considering using trimpath JST as our client side template solution
for an e-commerce site. At the moment we are using jTemplates but are
finding the performance pretty poor.

JST looks like the best solution we have seen, however theres is a strange
thing we have found when comparing trimpath across IE6,7 &8.

We are timing how long it takes for JST to template for 20 items and 200
items after an ajax call on our product category page.

For 20 items JST improves in speed greatly as the version number increases.

Oddly though, for 200 items, we find that IE6 seems to be faster than 7 and
8, with IE8 showing only a small improvement over 7.

JST still seems to be the best option for us but we were not expecting the
browser performance to give these results.

Is there any simple explanation for this? Is this something that has been
observed before?

thanks
