IE9 is definitely another step in the right direction and a much smoother browser than before. The only issues I found with it was IE working with Java, the two don't seem to get along very well currently. It really liked to drag a bit when playing Java based games, even hang. I went back to IE8 to see if it was the same but IE8 was fine with Java games and such. Back I go to IE9, same issue, plus when scrolling, it's still not quite smooth as it should be.
That being the case, I will still keep IE9 over 8, mainly for security update purposes. Even though I don't use IE much, I will always keep the latest version and unlike prior versions, I can use IE in somewhat confidence now. IE6 drove many away and some are still scared to go back to IE but it's a whole new browser now.
