IE 8 start up problem

When I first start up IE 8, the home page takes a long time to load (27 secs). After that all other pages load very quickly.

I also use Fire fox and have not had this problem

I use the same home page for both browsers

I run Vista Ultimate

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I have tried different home pages

Thanx

Addons have never been enabled. But I checked just in case.
Thanx

This happens to me all the time. I only use IE to remotely access my work files, but this seriously happens like 50% of the time I open IE. Very annoying.
