Random guess:
could it be your IE7 clients are configured to use a not so performant
proxy ? Using complex forms with IE7 here, no special troubles

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Our pages are very simple, very few images, very little javascript, and
we're not using any extra javascript libraries.
There is nothing obviously different in the server logs in terms of the
files being fetched. I'm going to try the suggestions here and see if what
turns up.
The puzzling aspect is the very large difference in time (by a factor of 4)
between IE and Firefox. This makes me wonder is there a difference in how IE
is handling either caching or if it is waiting for everything in the page to
load before rendering it to the screen, whereas FF is perhaps rendering the
page, but allowing non-visible elements to download in the background. Mind
you, in FF, the browser progress bar, which presumably the download status
of all elements on the page, completes in 6-7 seconds, compared to the 23 or
so of IE.

Using ctrl-I on firefox , in the medias tab you will get an idea what is
loaded by pages. If you see tons of javascript, css and picture, that
might be the source of your problem. Note that we had a similar problem
here once, JSF was slow to render (same time for IE / firefox), we
discovered we had a filter in our config that was, for database
transaction reasons, limiting request to one request at a time per
session (use of synchronized block on user session). As a result, all
queries for JS/CSS/pictures coming from JSF component where queued and
serve one at a time instead of in parallel.
Even complex JSF pages shouldn't take 23 seconds to be returned to
client. Also note that complex css layout can sometimes takes time to
get rendered client side, but 23 seconds.... ? Even 6 seconds is far too
much for average users :)

see why your page performance is that bad. We had some problems in our
project concerning included css and js-files. You should be able to
see who's "responsible".

Hi
I have a JSF application with some quite unusual performance
problems.
Loading pages in IE7 takes 4 times as long as in Firefox (v2.0.0.11)
