Internet explorer faster than chrome?!

So for the fun of it I started using the latest version of internet explorer and noticed it loaded websites faster than chrome. It even loaded google.com faster than chrome and booted up faster. Seems a little funny when they claim that chrome is faster.... Maybe I am just doing some wrong? lol

chrome gets so many updates so quickly that some stuff just gets bonked/slowed. IE9 is fairly quick of a browser so it can be at times faster.

Opera imo feels the fastest, too bad there is no xmarks support.

Opera would be my browser of choice if it had universal compatibility.
