Why does IE suck so much now?  It constantly sucks my cpu down so much so

multiple large pics it hangs for close to a minute.  I don't really want to
reformat/reinstall windows.  Anybody know of a better fix?  If I changed (in
the registry) my port speeds to tweak a 56k connection, would that help?

reason that Microsoft made it "part of the operating system" - so they
could slow it down just like everything else with the new version, to
make you buy a new faster PC, which of course comes with another copy
of the latest slower version of the OS...

Do youreself a favor.  Reformat the hard drive and install Linux.
You'll be amazed how fast your slow computer really is.
