Default Why is IE 7 so slow? How to fix IE7? Speed it Up

Using a new computer that came with IE7 (internet explorer 7) and amazed at how slow it is. Its loads up fine, but browsing pages is slow?
WHY?

I have already disabled / turned off the phishing filter.
I had installed skype, which automatically installed some plug --- turned that off.
I've looked at setting as best I could... I don't see anything else to disable, turn off?

But its really slow to load a page... any page.
I go to google, do a search and it takes 5 seconds plus to see the results?!

I did notice on TF, it displays the google ads at the top very slow, about a 2-3 second pause after the page loads.

Seriously, there must be a setting I'm missing, IE7 can't be this slow to display a page.

I'm about to load firefox and ie 6 again.

thanks
