Very hard to take this comment seriously when it doesn't take into account the fact that Internet Explorer was included for free and by default on Windows

Yeah that's the key point there, IE was faster, because it was using your memory even if you didn't want to use it. So loading netscape was running 2 browsers at a time, and thus slower than using 1.
