Not at all. Win7 and IE8 have never been less than instantaneous out of beta on 2+ gb average boxes.

If they were, I'd clean reinstall.

 

[Frostmourne]

I'll stick with Opera.

I just launched IE8 and it took 7 secs to launch and load my home page which is google. Firefox takes 2 secs and Operea 10.1 is instantaneous... Hmmm

User pref.

Your browsers are superprefetched, remember.

So startup time is predetermined.

Very true... I vote for user pref.

I doubt it, IE8 is just slow.
