It has so much of an "edge" that my music freezes for a split second
when I use it. It appears to completely hog the CPU that split second
for all of its things that basic things like any other program don't
get the chance to fill their buffers at all. Given the fact that
Firefox doesn't do that, I think it's not quite a fair edge, nor one
that I would want. Not to mention that if you have used a file dialog
during your Windows session (at all!), most of it is preloaded already
(in particular the caching is fully preloaded). They also most likely
won't be unloaded since just about any program uses the "common
dialogs" that now drag in IE.
