Before you try to figure out IE, you need to solve the image problem. I
went to your link, immediately saw a blue background with white lorem
ipsum text. About a minute later, images started to appear, one at a
time for the next minute. And I'm on a fast 7Mbps cable connection.

Waaay too large for a web page.

For some reason I don't have time to investigate, it's also not caching
the images, so I guess we would have to download the meg-and-a-half
every time we went to a different page at the site?

Why are you using XHTML 1.1? You should use HTML 4.01 Strict. The XHTML
could very well be your IE problem.
