I also found IE8 to be very slow, not so much typing in it but rollover effects on links, even small things like underline text when the mouse goes over it, also going from one page to another seemed slow. I even managed to crash it when I went to a windows sharepoint site.

I got it just yesterday and tried it. While it may pass the Acid2 test flawlessly (and only be a beta) it takes up /masses/ of memory. My computer isn't exactly a dinosaur but it still paused whilst trying to type using IE8. How powerful a computer is recommended anyway? However considering the problems with IE in the past I'd say I can live with that.
