IE 7 tabs are slow, I know why now
It turns out that it’s Google toolbar, try uninstalling it and you will see the difference.
I tried installing the latest version of Google toolbar but it didn’t really make much difference.
It made some difference when I disabled some buttons on the toolbar though, such as bookmarks.
My buttons are now: news, pop up blocker, PageRank, spell checker and Autofill.
Probably some of these buttons try to contact some server for some reason when you open a new tab and it makes everything slow.
