   Get Table Cell is particularly bad with Internet Explorer.
   Two ways to workaround the performance issue is to

   1. Reduce calls by working closely with WebDriver
   2. Use Execute JavaScript
      JavaScript is time-consuming and hard to write (especially in a cross-browser way), but it is definitely the fastest. I don't have an example because I have never gone that route.
      Here's an example showing how to use a Selenium2Library locator and get a collection of WebElements you can work with. Particularly, this logs the text of all the first cells in the keyword table. This is much faster than Get Table Cell, but is definitely ugly.

   *** Settings ***
   Library           Selenium2Library
   
   *** Variables ***
   ${URL}            http://rtomac.github.com/robotframework-selenium2library/doc/Selenium2Library.html
   
   *** Test Cases ***
   Cell Test
       Open Browser    ${URL}    ie
       ${se2lib}=    Get Library Instance    Selenium2Library
       @{cells}=    BuiltIn.Call Method    ${se2lib._element_finder}    find    ${se2lib._current_browser()}    xpath=html/body/table[@class='keywords'][2]/tbody/tr/td[1]
       : FOR    ${webelement}    IN    @{cells}
       \    Log    ${webelement.text}

   This is not browser specific issue. But I tried according to mentioned code
   for Xpath & made code with Get Text Keyword, it improves a lot & get solved
   issue.

   Thanks a lot,
