Whenever the googlesyndication URL appears on the bottom of the
browser, the browser hangs solid - popping up Task Manager shows it
"not responding".
I don't know why the delay of 1-5 seconds; maybe it is slow DNS somewhere.
I suspect this sort of thing is caused by advertising feeds. A google on 'googlesyndication' reveals quite a lot - I found this script
>>
>> // ==UserScript==
>>
>> // @name Google syndication frames (ver. 0.0.1)
>>
>> // @namespace
http://larytet.sf.net/myscripts
>>
>> // @description remove all Google ads from all websites
>>
>> // @include *
>>
>> // ==/UserScript==
>>
>>
>> var allFrames, frame, frameSrc;
>>
>> // discover all <frame> tags
>> allFrames = document.evaluate('//iframe', document, null,
>> XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
>> for (var i = 0; i < allFrames.snapshotLength; i++)
>> {
>> frame = allFrames.snapshotItem(i);
>>
>> frameSource = frame.src;
>> if (frameSource.indexOf("google") != -1)
>> {

which looks fun but I can't see any way to run it in IE6.
