Slow Intranet performance apparently due to CAB file

I've developed an Intranet app that among other things creates form letters
using a VB dll, via a cab file, to access Word functions. It works perfectly
and performs well when asked to create the Word documents.

However my problem is that it takes >30 seconds for the initial page to
display. If I comment out the "<OBJECT>" definition and as a consequence
all lines/function referencing that object, the page displays <3 seconds.
The object is defined as:
<OBJECT ID="docobject" CLASSID="CLSID:9735B64A-792C-8167-5912-18A4B729BBA36"
CODEBASE="DOCCAB.CAB#version=-1,-1,-1,-1" HEIGHT="0" WIDTH="0"></OBJECT>

All machines inc IIS are XP Pro, unfortunately, they are also SP2. I believe
the security settings are fine as it allows the download of the cab file
without pop up and the execution of the dll. The site is set up globally as
a trusted site. Should I move to Intranet site?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
