Perhaps you miss one thing..

Sometimes IE is slow not just because of ram, temp files or disk space. It could be spyware,adware doing something in your pc like running some unnecssary program in the background that slows you down every time.

If your pcs are hijacked, or spied, that could be the reason. Always check that too.....
