I found the 101% thing interesting, it was something I've yet to see one ounce of text on and I've read a lot of stuff on bugs.

Anyway, I did some reading on it and from what I've seen it should actually be 100.01% due to another browser having issues with 101%. This does have an interesting affect when you downsize the IE fonts. I played around before and after adding this setting and the text is much more legible after adding it.

Nice recommendation ukgeoff, works nicely.
