If you have not switched to FireFox by now then you should it beats the hell out of IE. Here are some tweaks to speed it up a bit.

FireFox tweeks:

Step #1
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 30.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
also double click browser.turbo.enabled so it is set to True then close and reopen your browser.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha=
Step #2 go to http://tinyurl.com/3wcl5 and install the tweak network settings extension. Close Firefox and reopen it. Then click tools and then click the tweak network extension.
You will see default and power settings button. CLICK POWER BUT do not click close YET.
Here is the numbers you should put in the spaces starting at the top and working to the bottom
40
16
16
16
check BOTH pipelining boxes
30

Then click ok.
Now when you load firefox, you should see pages load a LOT faster.
