IE eating memory, yet running slow

First, the facts: IE 6.0 SP1, Win2K Pro. Dell Latitude
400mHz, 128 MB RAM (2nd SIMM Port just died - it was 256),
40 GB HD, 2 GB FAT, 35 GB NTFS, 3 GB NTFS.

My IE is suddenly just crawling. As I page down, I have
lost the smoothness of the scroll (yes, smooth scrolling
is enabled), web pages take longer to open, and navigate,
and IE eats about 20 MB for each occurrance..

I got Ad-Aware, and Spybot S&D, and they found several
things which I neutralized, but my performanceis still
lagging. It's not a network problem, because others PCs
on the N/W are fine..

Any ideas? It's almost like a memory leak... or
performance leak..

Thanks!
 
I just did it.. it looked like it didn't find anything
and I was just coming back to report that, but (suddenly)
my response time is lightning fast again!! You may have
solved it.. but the pop-up didn't look like it fixed
anything - did I read it right? or not??
