It is still just IE. Lol.
EDIT:
[SIZE="3"]IE9 Beta 1 vs. Minefield (Firefox nightly builds) 4.0 Beta 7[/SIZE]
My system:
Core 2 Duo E6300 (1.86GHz)
4GB 400MHz (PC-6400) DDR2 RAM
GeForce 7300LE
Windows 7 32-Bit
Both Minefield and IE are running in safe mode (no addons).
Results:
Compatibility - Both with perfect score at CSS selector test, both pass ACID2 (I remember IE7 or 8 didn't even render that face well), ACID3 results: 97\100 for Minefield and 95\100 for IE. Minefield leading by far with HTML5 compatibility (217 vs. 96).
Performance - slightly less performance warnings in ACID3 when running it in Minefield. SunSpider's tests yield almost precisely the same results (the small difference could be caused by random activity of background processes), approx. 616ms.
Memory usage -

(plugin-container.exe belongs to Minefield)
Both browsers had 3 tabs open - Nexon.com, Nexon.net and Southperry.net. IE leading here with a noticeable but not huge difference (IE: 95MB, Minefield: 117MB)
On overall, not bad, but it is still far from rivaling with Chrome. Hell, it barely even beats Minefield, and performance-wise Chrome should be almost twice as efficient.
P.S. I didn't use any of Microsoft's own speed and compatibility tests on purpose, knowing that they were selected and optimized in order for IE to win (if IE didn't win, they wouldn't have posted the tests on their site in the first place).
