IE9 weird behavior

I am trying out the new IE9 and noticing a strange behavior.

When I click on a link, it the shows that the page is loading (the circular arrow spins). But nothing happens. It just sits there. Then if I click the link again, the page loads.

This happens pretty regularly. I don't have the same problem when using Firefox.

Has anyone else notice this?

I've been experiencing problems similar to those reported by jtn when accessing FT's mobile site via my BlackBerry. I often have to click on the same link several times, or give up, escape, and try again before the linked page loads. This problem started about the same time that FT was reporting "connectivity" problems.

I have this problem with IE9 also. Sometimes one click will do it but about half the time it takes two clicks. Any suggestions?

For those with similar issues, mgmsteven's suggestion -- double clicking on items does seem to speed things up -- a single click occasionally leads to a slow response, but a second click is almost always immediately responded to.

I have IE8 at work, and IE9 at home. I never see the "forever loading" issue on the IE8 computer, on the IE9 one, I see it a lot.

I accidently downloaded IE9 & haven't had the forever loading on FT, but it's making my computer run slower etc.

Cheers.

Similar experiences here with the "forever loading" issue on IE9.
