Want a better IE performance? Kill it's addons!

The other day I visited a friend of mine that bought a new netbook.
After installing windows XP SP3 and IE8 his browser perfomace dropped, web sites were loaded slowly and it took the IE ages to load.
At first he thought it was a malawere of some kind so he installed an antivirus and scanned the computer but the scan showed nothing.
After a little more research he said to me "I think I know who is the virus - the IE itself..." and guess what, he was right.
IE8 comes with a lot of addons that suppose to make your social life easier. I for one would never understand what is the use for those addons and don't know anyone that use them...
Apperentally those addons slow down the performance of the browser and as a result it take ages to make it launch or load websites.
As I see it if you want a better browsing experiance you have two options:
1. Disable those addons.
2. Use another browser.
Personally I'm a big fan of Google Chrome and use it as my default browser but because I'm a web developer who develop using .Net and Visual Studio technologies I can't just get rid of the IE.
The only choice I had left is to disable those addons and that exactly what I did.
Here is how you do it:
1. Go to Tools -> Manage add-ons
2. On the left side of the window that was opened choose "all add-ons"
3. Disable irrelevant add-ons by choosing them and press the disable button at the right bottom side of the window.
Now I don't need to be afraid that my pc will freeze every time I click on a link in an email message.
Hope this helps you too!
