Folow up:

Found $config['avatar']['server'] and changed it to a different virtual
host, but didn't seam to help load times.

mod_deflate wasnt on, but is now, no change.

Got Visual Debugger setup,  and I found an area in jquery where it seams to
loop quite a bit, but it may be waiting for the document to become ready,
Here's the code: (doing some googleing it's how you can ensure in IE that
the document really is ready)
(function(){
if(o.isReady){
return
}try{
document.documentElement.doScroll("left")
}
catch(E){
setTimeout(arguments.callee,0);
return
}
o.ready()
}
)
