Wow, only 73MB, you should feel lucky. I have seen Firefox using 1.3GB on my machine after I had it open all day.

Yeah, whenever I use it I press Ctrl + T to open a tab and then start typing, before realising that I am not using Firefox and am in-fact not typing into an address bar yet because I am still waiting for the new tab to grace me with it's presence.
a question, who would even use IE to start with?

Mmm, I can't see why it takes so long to just open a tab, it can't really be a big process. In any other browser, I press the new tab button in the tab bar, Ctrl + T or middle click a URL and it's there instantly, IE seems to be half asleep.

For testing or if there's nothing else available on the computer I'm using, like at my college, after they uninstalled Firefox.
Pretty much the same thing happened to me - you could download and install any software you wanted to use
Now though, the technitians disabled running of '.exe' files that aren't in a specified list. No more firefox.
Plus the computers at school suck so it takes about 2 minutes to open IE8 and another 30 seconds to open a tab...
