Subject: IE 8 SLOWNESS WHEN OPENING

I reviewed Firefox 3, and have been impressed when compared to IE7, so when IE8 
became available in final release, I installed it. Initially, I was very 
impressed by how quick it opened, but in the last couple of weeks, it's 
ridiculouly slow. In fact, it not only takes forever, but it's near impossible 
to shut it down. When I go into task manager, I find 2 IEexplore processes, yet 
under IE7 there was only one IEexplore process. So, I terminate one of the IE 
processes and both close, yet my machine then locks up and sometimes I have to 
reboot. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on here? I'm testing both 
IE8 and Firefox with the idea of seklecting one for our office. Initially IE8 
was opening faster than Firefox, but now Firefox is opening faster. I'm 
concerned that perhaps it's something on my machine, so I do not want to make a 
decision until I have all the facts.

RE: IE 8 SLOWNESS WHEN OPENING

2009-03-27 Thread Scott Kaufman at HQ
I've been using IE8 since RC  now RTM.  I had a few issues with the RC
(mostly around unresponsive tabs  the compatibility of websites), but
after installing the RTM, I've not yet had any issues like I did with
the RC.  I also have yet to see any issues that you're describing.

 

What I don't like about Task Manager is you can't see the processes in a
hierarchal manner...for that Process Explorer is great.  So, when you
kill one in Task Manager, you don't know if you're killing the parent
process, or a child process (e.g. tab).  At least with Process Explorer,
you can see which process is the parent  terminate appropriately.

 

The most # of iexplore.exe processes I've seen has been 8 (one parent, 7
child as seen in Process Explorer).  I had 3 separate IE windows with
various number of tabs per window open to various websites (both
internal  external).  None of the IE windows/tabs had slowness  all
respond quickly when switching to/from them.

This is on my daily work laptop - Dell Latitude E5400, Vista Business
x86  4GB ram - with all the usual office applications running.

  Try clearing cache/cookies/history?

  If that doesn't help... with MSIE 6, I've seen seen that sort of
behavior with corrupt cookie/history/cache files.  I'll explain the
process in case it can be adapted to MSIE 8.  Also, the details of
this are for Win 2000/XP; Vista is a little different.

  Anyway, the solution is to delete the files.  Not just clear the
contents using the UI, but delete them outright.  This does mean you
will loose your cookies and history.

  First, exit any major applications, like MS Office.  If possible,
close all windows.

  Next, you have to exit all Microsoft Internet/Windows Explorer
processes, including the Windows shell.  Open a command prompt window.
 Then click Start, Shutdown to get the shutdown dialog box.  While
holding down the [CTRL], [SHIFT], and [ALT] keys on the keyboard,
click the (Cancel) button in the GUI.  This causes Explorer to do a
clean exit.  (You can nuke it from Task Manager, of course, but that's
not a clean shutdown, and can lead to the very corruption we're trying
to fix.)

  Now nuke the three directories in question:

RMDIR /S %USERPROFILE%\Cookies
RMDIR /S %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
RMDIR /S %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History

  Re-start the shell with:

EXPLORER

  See if the problem goes away.

 I'm concerned that perhaps it's something on my machine, so
 I do not want to make a decision until I have all the facts.

  Indeed, always a good idea.  I like to use a clean install in a VM
for my testing of this sort.  It ensures I won't have any baggage
from previous whatever.  I make extensive use of VMware snapshots to
save known-good states, and revert to them and/or fork from them as
needed.
