ie8 is extremely slow for javascript

[eagle]

i have been using javascript (jQuery and prototype javascript) for developing

a webpage which works extremely well on Firefox and Google Chrome.

Any javascript operation is done instantaneously on Firefox and Google

Chrome, but the same operation take few seconds to be executed on IE.

Even the event handlers are very smooth on other browsers and they seem to

be buggy on IE.
