Speed differences between browsers is mostly the result of the client machine. It can also be an issue of how the document is formed. If you write your document correctly it can start to be rendered before all the data is retrieved. I haven't done benchmarks on this lately, but it used to be that even newlines and whitespace would effect page loading.
I just recently enabled mod_deflate on my web server and configured it to gzip HTML as it's sending to basically anything other than NN4 that says in its HTTP Request that it supports gzip. I saw a significant enhancement in performance on really large pages like massive tables. ASP.NET probably has some way to turn this on -- you might try messing with that. Also, just for kicks, try compiling your code with monoc. The resulting assemblies might be more... agnostic.
