It is slow opening new but opening a new tab took 22 seconds
I deleted history, offline files etc. all of that. with zero days
it still took that long
where as firefox which i use more takes ..less than a second. instantly opens
seems to have happened over the past day or 2
It's not bad working within a page that has opened, it is mainly just opening it and opening a new tab

It works okay now
I never restored to an earlier point because I was thinking of reinstalling 7 anyway
It got much worse a few days later, taking about 45 sec to open and same for a new tab
Yesterday someone sent me a link via aim and it opened normally
I can't explain it but now IE opens just fine
it's fixed but seems to have done so miraculously
solution... ignore it for a week? have somebody send you a link through IM?
The first thing I would suggest is to remove add-ons, which can make Explorer run slowly, or not at all. This link does a great job walking you through it:
