The following line in monobook/main.css causes high CPU usage in Internet Explorer 7: .TablePager tr:hover td { background-color: #eeeeff } As far as I can see, this is used primarily on Special:ListFiles. However, it will cause slowdown on all pages, especially large ones. When scrolling down and hovering over links on <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review>, it is quite noticeable. Removing the aforementioned CSS rule fixes the problem.
Update Web browser.
Adding testme. Please test with Internet Explorer 8 and note the result here.
