    I clicked the link from the main feed and this page was really slow to load. Perhaps the flickr gadget is the cause.

    I also find that loading your page is quite slow, but it looks like it is caused, in my case, by scripts loaded from twitter.com.

    Another tip: If you set "http://blogs.msdn.com/petel" as your homepage, it will come up every time you load IE7.  I agree, it's frustrating to have to wait for Pete's blog to load. --BMW.

    Pete's blog loads very fast for me and I'm on IE7 on a slow machine. What is extremely slow with IE7 is MSDN2.  The XML memnus take forever to load and always reload on every click of a link/topic. Al little Ajax here would probably vlean this up a bit.

    One thing I can see when looking at the blog source is that there is a fair amount of bloat due to teh MSOffice formatting. I wonder if, under some circumstances, this may cause slow rendering performance? I mention this because, on many sites, IE7 tends to build it's page very slowly.  Not this on for me but it does happen.  The same site on IE6 render norrmally. Is it machine settings or IE7 issues with some layouts?

    I think since IE7 has Phishing filter in-built, it scans the page content before it loads into the browser, that makes the page load slower
