I am creating a local HTML file that links to 2 external CSS files and 3 external JS files.

When I refresh this in Internet Explorer 9, the page takes over a minute to load compared to instantly in Firefox (latest stable build. When I remove the external CSS and JS references, IE9 loads the page instantly.

Can anyone explain why IE9 takes so long to load local HTML files with references to external CSS and JS files?
