I'm having a weird problem with IE (6 or 7), but it works fine with every other browser I tried. My pages take -forever- to load in IE. For example, a 1kb gif will take like 6-7 seconds to load. I can't figure this one out, anyone has an idea? The site is at http://ajaxwhois.com and Apache/Django is under the hood.
I tried disabling Javascript, but no luck.

This isn't so much an answer as it is just bringing the solution closer. It takes IE7 1.172 seconds to get mint.ajaxwhois.com/?js and 0.374 seconds to get mint.ajaxwhois.com/?record ... and it takes Firefox 0.530 seconds to get the first one and 0.420 seconds to get the second.
When I try to open the above URL's in IE, I get 404'd, but Firefox doesn't have this problem. I would hypothesize that the fact that IE has trouble with finding at least these two files while loading the site slows things down considerably. Perhaps you should try static JS files instead of dynamic ones if you have that option.
