Bingo! Solved the problem!!

Found a post pointing to info on how to run IE7 with no addons, once I had
done that the problem went away!

By trial and errorI have found out it is attributed to FlashGet v1.8.2.1001
download manager, specifically this addon:

FlashGet GetFlash Class - getflash.dll - file version 1.8.1.1002

Disabling this addon now eliminates the slow page rendering! Hope this helps
the development team!!
