Hello,

We have an html page that we dynamically generate on the fly on the client
and then load into IE using window.open(...) and window.document.write(). It
displays images using an ActiveX control that takes image data as 64-base
encoded string. It uses one instance of the ActiveX per image so there can be
many <object> tags on the page organized into a table. Also the size of html
can get quite big, sometimes around 1.7 MB. This used to work fine before we
upgraded to XP Service pack 2 - it took approx. 10 seconds to display. Now
loading this page takes IE almost 10 minutes and during this time it maxes
out cpu. We have confirmed that all this time is spent parsing html - it's
the time between a call to window.open and the first call into the ActiveX
code. Does anyone have any idea about changes in IE in SP2 that could be
causing this and/or any way to get around this issue? Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Best regards,

Alex
