FireFox loads page fine, but IE takes 30 to 60 seconds??

Question

I have updated one of our areas of our company's Intranet
website using DW8 and Fireworks8. I use templates so that a single
change can then be applied to multiple pages at once. I also use
Fireworks to create the navigation -- which I then imbed the HTML
and image slices from Fireworks into DW's template.
I use Firefox 98% of the time and it loaded just fine so I
published it. However, most everyone in our company uses IE. In IE,
the page, or any of the pages based on this template, takes 30 to
50 seconds to complete. Before that time, they show as 'not
responding'. But, as long as you are patient, it eventually
finishes loading and you can make ONE click and then wait another
30 to 50 seconds.
However, in Firefox, it works just fine. The only thing I can
think of that would cause this (it used to work fine) is the HTML
and/or image slices from Firefox as that is the only update I've
made to the template or to any of the pages based on the template.
I can copy the HTML here if needed.
Any ideas?

Good idea -- it will take me a bit to do. But, I'll get it
out there in the next day or so. I'm the lone' IT guy at a 150
employee company (fun fun) so time is an asset. : )
Oh, and there isn't any confidential info -- this is more for
employee morale (recipe sharing).
