Slowness with old browsers

My company uses a lot of IE7.

Rendering times for pages are much slower with RT4.0.2 than with RT3.8.8, which we were using last week.

When I use IE8 or Chrome, it is fine.

Does anyone have any ideas for reducing/eliminating some css or javascript that might help my users?

Thanks in advance,

Just at a guess, you’re running into issues around the corner rounding many people very much wanted.
If you have a look through the list archives, you should find a discussion of how to disable the IE-specific corner rounding workaround as a first thing to test.

Thanks for the quick response. Looking through the archives it almost
appears as if this were a problem with Firefox back when 3.8 first came
around, but I can’t see that there was anything about disabling it. My
problem is with IE7, which had it disabled when 3.8 came out.
