IE8 uses 95+% of cpu after update to sp3

I just updated to XP sp3 and did updates after that and IE8 is running so
slow. I loaded task manager to see what was happening and IE8 was using up to
99%.

My system was a slow XP sp2 but did a disk clean and defrag and it was
running a lot faster. Apps load and run faster after sp3 but not IE8.

Thanks for any suggestions

Uninstall SP3.
Reboot.
Uninstall IE8.
(Reverting back to whatever Internet Explorer you had before.)
Reboot.
Install SP3.
Reboot.
Install IE8 - if you feel it necessary.
Reboot.
