LOL, the comic did make me laugh. But for a different reason. It is so outdated and "cliched".

As far my personal experience goes, I find Internet Explorer 9 starting the fastest, with Chrome a quick second -and then Opera and finally Firefox.

Thanks for posting!

I click on Opera, FF and IE9 icons in that order, all pinned to task bar. The first one to open is IE9 then FF and then Opera.

The startup times will depend a lot on whether it is the first start after boot or whether it has already been cached. In general IE and Chrome are the fastest, Opera is slow and FF I would not touch with a 10 foot pole.
