Just recently, typing in forms on the internet has become rediculously slow. I'm on an oldish PC with low memory (1gb) and amd athlon XP 2800+ (2.08 ghz) and get an awesome 1.0 rating from windows :) Thing is though - it only just started happening. Was fine last week. Also, It doesn't only happen when heaps of other processes are open/running. I can have only one IE window up, after fresh reboot, and still happens. Any ideas why? | |||

Could it be a problem with your keyboard? I had a 4 year-old wireless keyboard that was giving me input lag & being very resistant to typing, not only on the web but in Word, etc. Anyway, I replaced it the other week and I can once again type quickly. :) As a sort of non-problem-solving answer, can you switch to Google Chrome/Chromium? It's blindingly fast (certainly much faster than IE8) and doesn't use a lot of resources (especially the newest developer builds). | |||

Check your AddIns and/or Toolbars which are installed, might be that there's the problem. | |||

Try to reset IE8 setting to default, delete the browsing cache and history, and maybe you may have some luck by desactivating the Autocomplete fetature (under Internet option >> content >> utocomplete setting). and turn off all unused accelerators a add-ons. should work fine now. | |||

I think everyone's answer (except switching browsers) is complete BS. I normally never use IE or IE8 and just did now, and I am noticing the problem like crazy. I don't, however, notice right now as I am typing this message though, which is kinda odd (I'm thinking it has to do with the things that are loaded on the webpage, such as images, animations, advertisements). I noticed while scrolling down, animations would run coppy and slow on IE. This is a fresh, clean, trim OS install, a fast new computer, and I'm good with computers. What's at fault? IE8. Is it fixable? Maybe but I'd wager not. Switch browsers, I can't stand using this browser really... it's so terribly slow | |||
