FF 3.6 is the pick of the bunch - and does not really take much getting used to. I hardly use IE8 at all now because, as you say, it is so slow.
Go on - be brave; you know it makes sense!

Take a look at this thread HERE and see if it helps at all.
There are also plenty of results for slow IE8 on Google which may help. slow IE8 - Google Search
Lastly, as has already been suggested by Albert, using an alternative browser may well help a lot.

There is no doubt that at the moment FF is the better product.

If I'm to be honest, I would say the Google Chrome is probably the best browser there is. Certainly it is the quickest. But I guess I'm just too used to FF.

You are right - but I still think FF is better - and with those teaks someone suggested it did make a difference to the speed.

I like to find out why things happen
Might uninstall 8 and try 7
see if there is any improvement
I do like the little red squiggle under my typos in FF

Lol, the FF spell checker is great, just make sure you select the correct language, as by default it's set to use US English.
