title: jQuery and IE8 compatibility view
body: <p>While doing a front-end javacript performance test on a site I'm developing, I'm finding on IE8 standards mode everything runs ridiculously slow. But if I flip compatibility view on, it runs very well - the animations are much smoother.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I cannot upload a link to show, but one of the plugins I'm using is a magnifier:
  <a href="http://www.huydinh.co.uk/demo/magnifier/" rel="nofollow">http://www.huydinh.co.uk/demo/magnifier/</a></p>
  
  <p>Toggle between compatibility mode, and move cursor around.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried adding the EmulateIE7 meta tag, but it made no difference.
  Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to fix it?</p>
  
  <p>Please help!
  Thanks.</p>
