I just had to repair my windows install after 8 years. One of the things you have to do is upgrade IE6 that is standard on the windows disk to IE8 to remove a bug that keeps poping up if you had a more advanced version of IE installed before.

Every sence I upgraded this site loads slow as hell. I did figure out it is all the site scripts. Specificly the side bar scripts that sometimes takes more then 5 minutes to load.

Just thought you should know.
