IGoogle Home Page Slow To Load

I have Windows XP Home and use IE7.

My Home Page is IGOOGLE. I have a few gadgets on the page, clock, calendar, exchange rate, calculator etc. and it is a really useful HP.

BUT, it is taking a long time to load. IE7 loads quick, but then an enormous wait. Sometimes iGoogle comes in after this and once it does, all loads OK.

It seems to be that when IE7 clicks on, getting iGoogle to respond is difficult.

Many times Task Manager gives the "not responding" message, so I close the program and keep trying until it all loads. Mostly the second or third try works OK.

I keep a very clean PC with daily scans and delete all the rubbish like cookies and temp. files as routine ops when browsing. My freespace is 63 GB.

Any comments on this ?
Many thanks

 

You've gotta figure it draws data from several sources so, find the holdup and you'll have your answer.

I suspect later attempt's work quicker 'cause they're then called from cache.

 

iGoogle looked pretty cool at the start untill it started lagging my own PC so i dumped it & IE for FIREFOX.
