Content control of course is included because it is part of IE. myIE is
"wrapper" to IE. Downloaded 3.2 and must say much much better. For
me it is  almost to swich to. But it sill lacks good codepage control :(
Unfourtenatly there is to many webadmins and webpage writers who
dont know or dont care how set codepage in server or page.  MyIE
lacks possibility to set that webpage is actually KOI-8R (russian standard
- not M$ version) or ISO8859-15 (Estonian standard but used mostly
Linux users because M$ thinks that we must use their baltic codepage.

For me  faster browser means faster rendering.  Loading time depends mostly
from
connection and server speed. Rendering speed depends higly from processor
speed so
in modern >1GHz CPUs it is very rearly when you can notice  speed difference.
It is more
seen when pages uses complex tables. I must say that even Mozilla and Opera is
somewhat
usually insignifically,  faster then this  subjective because  IE renders
tables when they are loaded
when Mozilla and Opera attempts starts renering before table is compleatly
downloaded.

In conclusion - if you use english, chinese or japanese pages MyIE adds most
features
lacking in IE  and presented  in Mozilla. Add download and cookie manager and
you have all features what 99.9% webusers need.

It is possible to shorten loading time. For example start loading images as
separate
thread before page is compleatly loaded. But number of connections to same
server is limited IIRC to 4 by standard. Some download accelerators work this
way.
