Actually, you can modify your registry to force your program to use IE9 rendering. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION and add a new DWORD value named your program name (with .exe) and a decimal value set to 9999.

You can also modify your registry to force your program to use IE9 GPU Rendering. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_GPU_RENDERING and add a new DWORD value named your program name (with .exe) and a hexadecimal value set to 1.

THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE IE9! You must download IE9 first, before you do this, or it will not work. If you want to render the pages with IE8 just change the 9999 to 8888.

Note: GPU Rendering is only available in IE9
