Webpage loads very slow in IE? (js and cufon)

Hi,

I'm working on a new website for one of my clients. I'm using a lot of javascript and also Cufon for the navigation menu. The page loads fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer, it is very slow. It takes more then 8 seconds the page is fully loaded. The URL is Link to website

Can someone help me where this slowing down happens for Internet Explorer?

Move the

stuff to the bottom of the page

It loads ok but really the above takes the most time

Hi,

I did that, it's maybe an improvement, but still slow. The main picture at the top loads also very slow.

Probably move all the Javascript code at the end of html code.

Nah, just the external one.

You can even defer the loading of the external script till after the page has loaded
