In fact, I consider the difference between IE 8 and 9 bigger than the difference between IE 6 and 8.

As far as I know, IE9 is the first version of IE that does away with XP support so MS redid a lot of the rendering code to use Direct2D + DirectWrite which opened up hardware accelerated rendering.
