eBay is driving me mad...

When ever I got to ebay and look through the auction pages, IE freezes for say 10-20 seconds while it finishes downloading every image, flash object and banner ads etc. Sometimes eBay decides to stop and then send the rest of the data a bit later causing IE to basically hang and use 100% of my CPU.
It is VERY annoying and doesn't just happen on one computer. It happens on all of them.
Any ideas?
It seems that ebay pages have become so big and bloated IE is struggling.

Even the ones in the cupboard?
Have you tried Ebay on a different browser?

That depends on which ones you are talking about.
If you are replying to my last post about the cupboard those ones do not work - at all.
If you're referring to another older post about the 2 under the stairs, yes its the same on those too!

Have you ?
The only way I can get eBay to function anywhere near correctly is to use IE (I use Opera the rest of the time) ... when I queried this with eBay support the message was very clear : "We only support IE" ... funnily enough eBay have some sort of tie-up with Micro$oft ... so maybe okrzynska could try their support people (but good luck to him)

I use Firefox as my primary browser, I have the Ebay Companion add on and it works fine. I use Ebay all the time.
Occasionally I will go to Ebay using Opera and that works ok for me too.
I only use IE for the Speedtester BT as it doesn't work for me in FF.
