I think there is something else going on here, as I hadn't noticed that with
IE8 (or IE7), and haven't heard of many such reports. It might be due to
the settings (maybe you need to customize the settings). You could also
bring up Task Manager and see if there are some other resource hogging apps
being loaded.
For me, the most noticeable difference in browsers has been with Firefox,
which *initially* takes noticeably longer to load, but otherwise works fine.
But I use IE8 for most work. And I'm only running a 1.6 GHz computer here,
with 1 GB of RAM. But I usually just single task, or minimally multitask,
when I'm on the computer (meaning - I don't run ten other apps in the
background, which can create such problems)
