Certain websites load extremely slowly

For some unknown reason it takes a few minutes for pages
at certain websites to load on my computer.

The sites include:

Reuters.com
FT.com
USAToday.com
eCost.com

I'm using version IE 6.0.2900.2180.xp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158
Cipher strength: 128-bit
Update version: SP2

My connection is DSL, and the computer is about four
months old (Dell) and has enough memory, power, speed,
etc. to run a space shuttle.

Does anyone know if these four sites have a common
element that is making them difficult to load? Is there
an Internet Options setting that I could change? Could it
have to do with my firewall?

This is seriously annoying.

I just tried all 4 sites and the only one that I had
problems with was eCost.com.I'm on a cable connection at
3mbps.Could be a lot of traffic at the times you try to
connect to the sites.Does this happen all the time or just
certain times of the day (or night)?
