It was pretty slow in Konqueror/Linux too - while it was faster on Firefox.
It seems Konqueror is waiting for everything to load before displaying the 
page, while firefox keeps loading slow parts in the background.

The page is pretty large, and is estimated to take around 1 minute on dialup:
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://www.intelligence-direct.com/home/index.php

But I expect the main problem is the counter:

<div class="stats">
<script type="text/javascript" 
src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js"></script>
<noscript>
<div><a href="http://www.statcounter.com" title="statcounter"><img 
src="http://c2.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=299226&amp;java=0" 
alt="counter" /></a></div>
</noscript>
</div>

Try taking that out, and try it again.

Cheers,
Richard.
