Internet Explorer9
I'm managing an internal website and have a problem in IE7 -- as some

of the pages are loading, it shows a counter at the bottom with "items

remaining". On a particular page, it starts at 500+ and counts down.

I thought this normally referred to images, but there are a total of 2

images on the page. It does have a table of 50 rows, and this seems

to be somewhat related because if I cut this down to 20, the count

starts at about 200. IE6 seems to wait the same amount of time, but

without the counter.



Is this counting HTML tags? Or what else? Is there a programmatic

way to turn this off? It just gives the impression of going slow and

of doing something it shouldn't be doing, compared to just seeing a

normal progress bar.

Also... When viewing the same page on a local development server,

rather than the live server, I don't see this at all. The same code,

the same amount of data, the same installation of IE7, but no items

remaining. So I can't tell if it's something different about the

server environment, or if it's just loading faster and eliminating the

slower load time.
