It doesn't in synthetic benchmarks. According to Ars Technica ie9 in all tests is slower or roughly on par with FF4beta6, at least in its 32bit version (for some reason its 64 bit version is much slower).
Consider that beta 6 of firefox uses the old JS engine, and that the final version starting with beta 7 will use the new one that developers have been tuning and testing, with a speedup of 2x-4x in all javascript benchmarks, basically moving in the same ballpark as chrome's or safari's engine. That leaves ie9 way behind, unless they rewrite its innards substantially.
Google for tracemonkey vs jaegermonkey and see here the latest progress..
