IE8,	Ok I took the plunge and upgraded to IE 8 from IE 6 I don`t have any major problems but have noticed it sometimes takes maybe 10-15 seconds to connect to things like hotmail or forums that I use. When I was upgrading I didn`t add-on any of the add-ons or extras or enhancements that I am aware of. I have also noticed when I come out of a website the little eggtimer keeps running for a few seconds after it (website) shuts down almost like (I must be paranoid) its sending info to microsoft or something. I am not familiar with the new format so is there anything I can do to speed things up? thanks
