IE hangs during fast refreshes

[Guest]

If I set the Internet Options->Privacy->Settings->Advanced
Override automatic cookie handling/Prompt, Prompt,
set Always allow session cookies.

And then start to rapidly refresh the browser .Each time the cookie
arrives we will be prompted for permission. But after about 5 refreshes
the IE browser starts to hang for a long time. The cookie is a time based
cookie. . However if I refresh it every 3 seconds I don't see the problem.
Is this some form a security that MS is imposing to prevent rapid writes to
the Disk . Looks like I see the problem only in XP with IE 6.0 . I don't see
this problem with firefox on XP . I have SP2 installed

1. What is a rapid refresh of IE?

2. Did the problem begin before or after going to SP2?

If after:

disable XP SP2 auto update

Hi,
press f5 every one second. You will find that the browser will hang
after 4-5 attempts. This is seen both on Sp1 and Sp2 . Another observation I
have made is that the browser would hang only if the cookie value is the same
.. if the cookie value changes the browser doesnot misbehave. Any clue on
this . Looks like a bug to me.
