Does News.YCombinator.com load faster in IE for you?

When I navigate to http://news.ycombinator.com/ in Firefox 2.0.0.17, it shows me just the main header (the orange bar) and then it takes an average of about 8 seconds for the list of stories to appear.

Doing the same in Internet Explorer 7, everything loads just about instantly.

Does anyone else have the same experience?
