[thelist] Progressive delays in IE5 (OT?)

Folk,

Has anyone run into this?  Each time a new page is loaded into IE, or a new instance is spawned, there is a greater delay.  This is IE 5.01, formally 5.00.3315.1000, with 128-bit encryption, on a Win2K box.

At first, it was thought to be due to a web app, but tests showed it affecting any web site.  Cannot find anything in MSDN that seems applicable.  Don't even know whether this is web-related, or a Win2K problem, or just a local problem, but the same problem has been identified on one other machine, also Win2K (most are at this location).

In testing, after changing pages many times, I've gotten the delay up to thirty seconds.  The way it seems to work is thusly:
page loads, normal timeframe;
page address display in address bar is delayed;
browser cannot be closed normally, nor a new page loaded, until address bar display reflects current page.

The delay increases by a [guessed] half-second or so each time.  Closing _all_ browser instances and restarting the browser resets everything, but does not end the problem.

Any thoughts?
