This could be a problem with Cookies. The Privacy Report shows
that many of the images have a Cookie associated with them.
To test this idea you could delete any Cookies associated with the site,
then turn on prompting for Cookies, then revisit the site, allowing the prompts
when they come up. This may also allow you to see more clearly
which particular component is being loaded when rendering reaches
the state where you normally see the hang.
BTW what happens if you press Esc (Stop) at that point. IE can continue
loading the remaining items, depending on how they are requested.
(E.g. if it is due to scripting or in different frames.) In that case you would
just see a Red-X instead of whatever was being loaded.
