You see the glass half-empty, I see it as half-full. Are you seeing similar behavior on any other webpages? (I'm not.) I hold fast to my /opinion/ that the webpage itself needs to be updated/fixed and that it makes no sense whatsoever to uninstall any Critical Security Updates in order to have one webpage load faster. YMMV.
A possibility:
ActiveX controls may not load as expected in Internet Explorer due to defense in depth changes introduced in cumulative security update 896688 (MS05-052)

A Web page that contains a custom ActiveX control may not load as expected in Internet Explorer due to defense in depth changes introduced in cumulative security update 896688 (MS05-052)
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=909738
The fix detailed in 909889 involving the Registry and OLE32.DLL is available at
- http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip, and
- http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/kb896688_fix.zip (a small VB app that checks the 4 values and offers a repair option if any of them are incorrect).
NB: I've run the above fix(es) and see no improvement at the page.

You just helped to prove my point that it is the UPDATED IE6 on Windows XP
that is the problem. ONLY computers that have been fully updated are
"hanging". Those that have NOT been updated DO NOT HANG. Other browsers
do not hang. ONLY THE IE6 installing the updates AFTER Dec. 15. I'm
saying that something Microsoft did to upgrade IE6 for Windows XP is
choking on the JavaScript. Not enough to break it, but causing it to
load very slowly. I've checked the JavaScript and could not find any
errors ... plus it worked fine just before I did the install.
I've spent countless hours trying to "fix" what Microsoft screwed up. I'm
hoping somebody else has found the solution. Thanks.
