type in address in address bar and long delay

[asdf]

When I type in a url in ie6 running on windows xp there is a long delay
before the page appears. but if i go to the favorites and bring up a
page it comes in instantly or when clicking on a link it comes up
instantly it is just typing in the url in the address bar. if i pull
down on address bar and pick from list all is fine as well.

any ideas ?

Hi asdf

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following and see if it helps:

Clearing the Temporary Internet Cache -
Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
Note: Any links listed in your Favorites (including any pages you saved for
offline viewing) will not be deleted when the History is cleared normally.
Therefore, you must also check the box next to Delete ofline files on the
dialog box as well when you clear the Temp Files to be sure all files are
deleted.

If TIF is much larger than 50 MB, IE starts to slow down because it's
actually faster to get the information from the Internet than to find it in
TIF. In addition, you start losing the ability to save pictures as anything
but a BMP and you lose the ability to View | Source. Unfortunately, as far
as I know IE still by default grabs some percentage of the drive for TIF and
for large drives this is way too much. 50 MB seems to be about the best.

Hope this helps.
