I read where mirror slap is only a big problem at certain shutter speeds like 1/30th or so. I believe it. So avoiding this by going to a longer exposure or shorter can really help. Often, the problem is a combination of many things including the tripod, the shutter speed, and the wind. The IS should be a good indicator of a steady tripod. If the IS causes the viewfinder image to wander then the tripod is steady.
