New MSN page causing IE 6.0 to not stop after closing and causes computer slowdown

Since the new MSN site design has been released IE 6.0 does not stop using
the CPU after closing. What I mean is if I use the new MSN home page that
was just released as a startup page, after I shut down the browser and check
"PROCESSES" in Windows Task Manager IE is shown as running ( multiple times
if I opened and closed the browser to my MSN home page more than once ) and
totals 100% on the cpu utilization chart. This really slows down my computer
to say the least and I have to manually "end process" for IE...it does not
shut down on it's own after a while. If I use a blank or any other start up
page this does not occur as IE shuts down in the processes list on it's own
quickly after I close it. Very strange indeed!
Anyone else having their computer slowdown since the page upgrade?

I should also add that this only occurs when I go to my content "customized"
page ( my.msn.com ) and not to the "generic" msn.com page. I also have
removed all content that can be removed from my.msn.com page and the same
thing still happens so it's not one of the content modules causing the
problem For now I've changed my home page to something different but I
really have liked the my.msn.com home page features!
TIA,
Bob
