I hope you do are able to explain the results from this test:
[a page with a lot of content, where the "reaction time" is the time it
takes for the page to scroll to an internal anchor]
For test purposes, this is a very large file. With IE I am seeing a
reaction time* of about 20 seconds. With NS I see immediate reaction - no
delay at all.
*Reaction time: After clicking on "A" and getting to "B", how long it takes
for "B" to be clickable.

Stan,

I am guessing you mean Netscape 8 and IE 6 (neither of which are
particularly good).
With Opera 9 I see a reaction time of < 100ms.
With IE 5-7 I see a reaction time of < 100ms (the page takes a long time to
load though, make sure you run the test after it has completed loading).
With Firefox 1.5 I see a reaction time of < 100ms.
I do not see any differences, must be something screwed up with your IE
install. Maybe caching is disabled or something, and it is reloading the
page from the server. I don't know, you will have to check your settings.
