I will say that anyone using IE8, who isn't aware of what I'm about to discuss, will eventually find a lot of pages loading slow.
I would hope most everyone is familiar with clearing their temporary internet files or cache. It's not just so your wife or gf doesn't see this in your history. Not clearing it causes you to reach the cache size limit that is currently set for your browser.
Well, as of IE8, there is an option that is checked by default. Preserve Favorites website data. Uncheck it if your only clearing the cache. It's good for keeping cookies, saved passwords, etc. not really beneficial for cache (unless you're still on dialup).
This is not a one-solution-solves-all for slowness issues. Just the most common solution that has been working in my travels as of late. Hope it helps.
