I've used the developer tools on Chrome, FF and IE, and on IE, it's extremely slow. I was trying to debug iGoogle and it took about 3 minutes to even open the tools page.

Can anyone confirm that it's that slow? It works fine on small websites though.

Yes, it is that slow. I have noticed that FireBug has no issues running lengthly JS files where IE developer tools struggles.

Be sure to clear the console a lot. (Right-click option in the console tab.) It does not clear the console ever except for when you manually do it, so it can get really big and slow. Usually clearing between every reload for me keeps it snappy enough.
