I'm having a problem that seems to be compounding itself (maybe it's my imagination)... whenever I scroll in a page in IE8 with Flash content on it (side/top bar ads) the page becomes sluggish, jittery, etc. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this and is it caused by the ActiveX Flash plugin or from IE8 itself?

I'm not having this problem with Chrome or Firefox with the Flash plugin.

I'm having the exact same problem. Thought it was my computer that was slow, so I bought a new one :D (I really did). But the same problem remains.

It's only when you have zoomed up page (150% for example) when IE becomes SLUGGISH!



There's gotta be a fix for this.
