    IE 6.0 is old and should be upgraded to either FireFox or IE 8 or 9. I had problems with IE 6.0 and they went away (mostly) when I started using the latest version of FF. [Edit] Any current version of most browsers should alleviate most problems with this site. HTH :)

      Sorry but, just like Microsoft, CodeProject too does not support IE6 anymore. I would suggest you to upgrade to latest versions of IE for your own good. IE6 has lots of issues (including security holes!)

        The IE6 javascript engine is about a zillion times slower than any other browser available. That it chugs on stuff that everything else finishes almost immediately is to be expected.

          Just to clarify that this isn't just an IE6 problem... When I go to latest articles, one of my processors jumps to 100% for 5 to 10 seconds. This seems to happen every time I go to the page. Seems a bit excessive for such a simple page. It may be related to the fact that there is nearly 7,000 lines of HTML when I view the source of the page. That also seems excessive.

            IE6 may be displaying a dialog that a script is running slow, but it still runs slow on other browsers. Go to latest articles and give it a try. Pegs my CPU for 5-10 seconds (IE8).

                That page isn't exactly a Javascript powerhouse. There's some extraneous viewstate (that I'm currently ridding the world of) but not a ton of javascript. Do you have any add-ins installed that might be playing silly buggers? [Edit] I can replicate on IE6-8, but not IE9, which leads me to think it's definitely javascript. Still hunting.]

                  When I viewed the HTML source of the recent articles page, I noticed "SkinCancer" was part of the HTML. That's kinda weird.

                    Looks like the "Tags" box opens up a pretty complex UI element (that's where the "SkinCancer" came from... probably some of that is user generated content). Perhaps there's some JavaScript in there that's slowing things down.

                      And this started, in my case on IE6, about 3 days a go. Any ideas?

                          We moved from jQuery 1.4.2 to jQuery 1.5.1. I'm going to rollback and see if that helps.
