Several users have reported significantly slower performance under Internet Explorer 8, particularly when the browser is first launched or when navigating to new pages. Delays of up to 30 seconds or more have been reported.

I would be curious as to hear if anyone has tried this fix yet and the results of it. I use Firefox as default, but I havent noticed much of a delay in IE when I have had to use it.

If you don't have a delay when starting IE8, I wouldn't do anything.

I got the info from another site where the member was having the delay...He found the soultion and reported it worked well for him.

No, I'm not wanting to use it, but for an overall fix I would love to hear if someone has had these problems and used this fix. I just would like to hear if it really works.
