After Internet Explorer 8 was officially released by Microsoft at MIX09 last week, the new update for the Microsoft browser had a minimal market share increase. IE8′s average market share increased from 1.34% to 1.45% . It did manage to peak at 1.86% and now stands at 1.7%.

To compare, Google Chrome 1.0 gained about 0.1 percentage points next to IE8′s 0.52% gain on day of release. Firefox 3 gained 0.66 percentage points on the first day and 3.51 points over a two-day period.

There have been several claims about IE still being slow even with the new update. What do you think?
