... at what?
Page rendering? Javascript? Download speeds? What?
I'm sure folks struggling with dial up modems will LOVE to hear web pages will now load 60x faster. </sarcasm>

The 60x increase is in two of the demos from the "IE9 Platform Preview Test Drive 2D canvas demos" found here - http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/
When I read the article I also thought about just normal browsing page load times. That is already so fast that a 60x increase is hardly noticeable. That just makes the news trivial and the chromium team look like freakish geeks with nothing better to do than crunching numbers that only a machine can read.
That is until I looked at the demo video, which I missed on the article and only found about here. I can see that, particularly with that photo wall and the painter thing, snappiness is what would make them work.
that new GPU acceleration advances in the upcoming version 7 are achieving speeds 60 times faster than in version 6
Based on the GPU acceleration bit, I'd assume it's page rendering though.
I'd assume it's the 2D graphics performance.
To me, all of this is just windbagging and vacuous marketing - just like the (almost entirely) pointless Javascript boasting.
