asp.net menu very slow

[dannystommen]

I have a asp.net menu which is loading very slow. When the mouse hover the menu, it starts loading. In the statusbar the message "waiting for about:blank" shows and after a second it finished loading and the submenu appears. I searched a bit on the Internet and seems that more people are facing this problem, but I can't find a solution of any reason that is causing this problem.

I only have 4 items in the menu!

<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" BackColor="#F7F6F3"
DynamicHorizontalOffset="2" Font-Bold="False" Font-Names="Arial"
Font-Size="10.5pt" ForeColor="#7C6F57" Orientation="Horizontal"
StaticSubMenuIndent="10px">
<StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" />
<StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />
<DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#7C6F57" ForeColor="White" />
<DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" />
<DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />
<StaticHoverStyle BackColor="#7C6F57" ForeColor="White" />
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Home.aspx" Text="Home" Value="Home">
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/MyAccount.aspx" Text="My account"
Value="My account"></asp:MenuItem>
</asp:MenuItem>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/SalesOverview.aspx" Text="Sales" Value="Sales">
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/InsertionOrder.aspx" Text="Insertion orders"
Value="Insertion orders"></asp:MenuItem>
</asp:MenuItem>
</Items>
</asp:Menu>

Had the same problem in the past, so I decided to rather go for JavaScript / CSS menus - just a suggestion

I experienced that IE was slow in general and saw that there was something with Phissingfilter (something that Microsoft service was offline, something like that).

I disabled Phissingfilter and it works fine again now...
