I don't have IE8 installed, but have you checked the speed of FF3.5 versus IE8? FF3.5 has a lot more zip to it than previous versions.
Yeah I did do the upgrade and it seems a bit faster but still hogs memory.
I left my FF on overnight just a few days ago with no tabs and the darn thing actually ran itself up to about 350MB or so each of real mem and virtual mem. Just crazy.

I'm here with two tabs open now and my mem is 163 real and 166 virtual.
