IE slowdown

[Gomek]

Hi. Yesterday I downloaded IE 7.0 and installed it. I noticed a lag of a
few seconds from when I clicked the icon to when the program actually
loaded. I exited out and reloaded, once again there's a lag of 2-3 seconds.
The things that is strange, is subsequent launches have the same delay,
where as most of the time after the second time, it or part of it is in
memory and appears instantly. I uninstalled 7.0 not because of that as
much, I just wanted to wait a little longer before upgrading. The same
problem with lag I had with 7.0 is not happening in 6.0 the original
version. The one thing I did prior to installing 7.0 was applying a major
upgrade to Mcaffee. I can't find a way to shut Mcaffee down either. Thanks
in advance!

Consider that the OS tracks how many times you launch your most used
applications in order to provide optimisations to the appropriate
targets. It takes time before some new application rises in that list
of frequently accessed applications (this includes new versions of
apps). In the case where the dlls are still loaded in memory (ie:
during a second launch of the application), the application needs not
load the required dlls.
So what you see as far as delays are concerned is expected.

You may want to check the McAfee Forums> Internet Security 9. I installed the
latest MaAfee upgrade and had a huge problem with IE6. There seems to be some
serious issues, I eventually had to uninstall it.
