Extremely SLOW animated GIF's in IE, but not Netscape.

[Doug Warner]

This animation, viewed from here:

is incredibly slow. CPU usage goes to 100% if any part of the
animation is visible.


1. It does NOT happen if I open it via this URL:
http://www.shockerowners.com/showthread.php?t=5882 (No idea why)

2. It does NOT happen If I open it in Netscape 6.2.3

3. It does NOT happen if I right-click the image in IE and open a
properties sheet on it, then close properties. Then, it runs smoothly
until I reload the page. This indicates it's an internal problem with
IE6. I even installed SP1 for it, but it still runs slow.
My IE version is 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633

Please, someone, fix this or suggest a workaround that doesn't require
installing plug-in's

it sounds like something else is trying to load. maybe
ads or popup under.
