FWIW, I'll chime in to say that I've never experienced this slowdown that people are talking about, either here at work or at home. When I first surf to Renderoscity, yes, I see the menu graphic load, takes maybe six or seven seconds. When I surf to other areas of the web site, the menu is already cached and doesn't need to reload. It really hasn't been a problem for me. I'm using the latest IE with every service pack available.
