Description Biezl 2010-07-21 13:55:40 UTC Page loads on wikipedia are still very slow on IE6. Often five times slower than it is with JavaScript disabled. A short page need 2 Seconds to load with Scripts disabled by browser settings and 10 Seconds with all enabled. Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2010-07-21 13:59:23 UTC *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 23612 *** Comment 2 Biezl 2010-07-22 19:26:56 UTC It's not a general problem, it's special for IE6, which is very slow in running JavaScript. Now FireFox is about as fast on Vector as MonoBook on my system.
