IE8 AngularJS Page Load Lag + ng-bind-html issue

Question

For context, I work in an environment where I still need to support IE8 (still the default distribution on computers); I am also using twitter bootstrap 3; Angular is latest version. I am returning data from APIs and using ng-repeat to build the results in the view. Anyone out there developing applications in IE8 land? All my stuff is working stellar in Chrome.

I have 2 problems.

One is that in IE8, loading of the ng-repeat-driven API results takes forever or never finishes. If I open developer tools in IE8 and debug, on the refresh it loads the ng-repeat results fine. This happens every time.

Here's the beginning of my :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="app">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta charset="utf-8">

I have no idea why that is happening. Should I be using a different tag? I am wondering if IE8 Developer Tools loads items in a different IE8 mode than I have in the head. I am not clear on how I check the status of the API response in IE8 to verify that it is not a problem with the API call going out, rather than a problem of angular rendering the response.

The other issue is the ng-bind-html is not returning any values from certain fields of my API response in IE8. Working fine in Chrome. Is this a true alternative to ng-bind-html, and one that will work in IE8?

in addition, IE8 generates a bunch of ' Error: Unknown runtime error'. No idea what those are, and no idea how to drill down any further on those. No detail is provided besides an entry in the log. — Max

Since Stack Overflow won't let me answer or upvote the answer I found...This provides the solution to the ng-bind-html. Wasn't clear how you could apply that via a filter until I saw the answer that was not selected.

As for the other issue, I am going to go the route of an API call that does not include a data body (the API I am using can have the data come multiple ways). Case closed (in so much as I can move on...still plenty of unanswered questions.).
