I was using IE9 64-bit but due to the problems with Flash video I have gone back to the 32-bit version.
The 32-bit version of IE has a better Javascript engine too.
In addition, my Internet Security Suite is only compatible with 32-bit browsers at this stage.
I decided to try Firefox 64-bit "Nightly" (version 6.0a) and have been using this most of the time lately with minimal problems. It seems to render fonts better than Firefox 4.0.1 which I also have installed.
I really haven't noticed much difference in speed between the 4 browsers.
If your IE9 is inconsistent it could be an addon that is slowing it, but it should pop up a window telling you which addons are the slowing it down. Also (unless you are on a corporate LAN) make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is not ticked in Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings. That has caught me out a few times in the past.
