If it wasn't for most businesses requiring IE and locking down computers so that other browsers cannot be installed, IE would be at a bigger loss.

The IE dev team knows IE is slow and that it doesn't measure up to safari, opera, or ff in speed. Strange you are declaring different results. IE8 is faster than IE7 but still slower than all (read: 100%) other major competitors.
