cybermage Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Installed IE8. Works fine and I'm pretty impressed by it so far, *BUT* it seems a bit sluggish, UI-wise. When I want to open a new tab (Ctrl-T) it takes up to 4-5 seconds to actually get the new tab going and ready to accept input. I'm just wondering whether you guys have the same/similar problems (IE also takes considerable time to fire up the first time) This is on Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD 5600+, 2gb ram, ATI Radeon 4670. Running in the background is AVG Free 8.5, which I disabled for testing but it didn't have any impact on IE's reaction time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+devHead Subscriber² Posted March 21, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted March 21, 2009 I've had no such slow response times; for me it's pretty snappy. I have a Athlon X64 3000+ (1.8 Ghz, single core) and 2 GB RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san.W10 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 i have the same problem in Windows 7. same issue discussed here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=748884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybermage Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 i have the same problem in Windows 7.same issue discussed here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=748884 Thanks for the heads-up. I tried all of the suggestions but the problem's still there. I even re-installed IE8, but I still have the 4-5 second delays. This makes IE8 pretty much unusable for me.

san.W10 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 try disabling the Java ssv plugin for me, that was the cause of slow IE8. Open IE8 -> Goto- Tools->Manage Add-ons-> higlight "Java Plug-In's SSV Helper 2" -> Disable it.

In fact, apart from Flash and Silverlight I disabled all plugins and addons... this is really driving me round the bend. IE8 takes approx. 8 seconds to load, new tabs up to 5 seconds. That's just too much. Another side-effect I've just noticed: when I don't wait for a new tab to fully load (i.e., "Connecting..." is still visible) and I, then, click on a link IE8 offers to download the shortcut. LOL.

san.W10 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Open Task Manager, then open IE8, see CPU usage, note IF some process/plugin takes higher CPU usage when IE8 loads. i spotted Java ssv plugin "jp2ssv.dll" to take full 100% CPU, for startup & for new tabs.

iron2000 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 The cause of IE8 slowness for me is having too much Resticted Sites. (Read that its because of some LCIE thing) Its because I installed IE-SPYAD which added the entries in. I removed the added entries and IE8 runs all better. There are also reports of Spybot S&D's Immunize affecting IE8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybermage Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Worked like a charm. In addition, I had to remove the same folders in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This is great! IE8 all snappy and fast. Wonderful. :-) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
