I've been using IE8 RC1 without major problems and just updated to IE8
through Windows Update.
Since the update my browsing speed became extremely slow and I have 10 to 20
connections to deploy.akamaitechnologies.com established all the time. This
only started happening since the update (2 hours ago), and I made no other
change to the system, so I guess it's pretty safe to say it's not spyware (a
fast google search on akamai also points to a "legit" company).
Anyone has any idea on what's going on?
