IE6 strange problem

[Guest]

IE6 is using alot of cpu cycles for what seems like no
reason. Some pages even hang becuase its using 100% of my
processor cycles. CPU usage jumps as soon as I start
loading a page and stops when its loaded. Im have XP,
sp1, IE6 sp1, and a 1600, which is reasonable speedy,
especially for web browsing.

Are you running Norton antivirus? If so, disable Real
Time file protection and see what'd happen.
