[imp] msie 6.0 / winxp slowness (Solved, for me at least)

[Doug Curtis]

Yeah, that is strange.  I got rid of the .NET framework and it didn't help.  I 
was also having the problem on a Win2k machine. 

Depending on the account, I had to drop on user's setting to 15 and some even 
less.  I know it's not a fix but it was the only way to get them to login 
without hanging.  But why it only affects IE6? Beats me.
