Correct me if I am wrong, but Skyfire is one of those browsers that all the rendering is done on Skyfire's servers and not on the phone. Same with Opera as well.

Now with IE, the rendering is done on the phone like a traditional desktop browser.

That could be why IE needs more hardware to get the job done.
