Default Google+ deliberately slow on IE?

Anyone using IE on Google+? Is it dreadfully slow for you? If I was cynical (), I'd say that Google was slowing performance on other browsers, forcing people to use Chrome.

I've never had an issue (even speed-wise) with IE up until now/Google.

Come to think of it, even Gmail is slow.

It's all super quick on mine
Installed another SSD at the weekend and a fresh win7pro install
Even though the new SSD is the same as the last one (now moved to D: ) the fresh install isn't bogged down by all the rubbish put on the last one lol

Run CCleaner Mark

That might be an idea. Ironically, just switched to Chrome again and it's definitely running much faster for Google stuff and Twitter. I'll run CCleaner later and report back. Nice as Chrime is () I'd rather stick to IE if I can.

Opera may suit you then Mark, they kind of mimic IE but Opera is loads faster and better

Another issue with Chrime is WYSIWYG editing. Can't believe it's still not supported!

I use IE just once a month, because HSBC bank are not able to build a cross browswer complient system for their on line banking. So, to print statements, I must use IE

On IE, I find lots of stuff slower.

With NatWest online banking, IE is dire it must be said. Mind you, it's no better with Chrome.

Google+ is just really slow to load.
It's frustrating as hell when you have to click so many times to make something work.

I often have the same problems as you Mark and find Google+ can be extremely slow on both IE and Firefox .... I'm putting it down to Google+ being slow.
