If you have different browsers (like avant) you can block out scripts. I have to do that and the site is quick. If I enable scripts it boggs down. Play around with the settings -- depending what you surf you might not be able to load other sites -- but its a switch on/off that you can select when surfing here.

Yeah I found I hated IE very early on. Sometimes I even bounce between avant, orca and thunderbird depending on sites I'm surfing.
