TabContainer paints slowly in IE (but not FF)

[JJ]

Are there any known issues with a TabContianer drawing slowling in IE? The
page I am developing is desinged with 4 main tabs, then 3 of the tabs have
their own TabContainer with 26 tabs on them each A-Z. It's basically a
filter tab. Anyways, on post the page draws extremely slow and looks awful.
If I take the 3 filter tabs off the page the slow draw still exists, but it
is not nearly as bad. We're talking about like 1-2 seconds to draw with them
and < .5 second without.

And like the subject said this does not happen in Firefox.

Thanks

Just to make sure I downloaded and installed the latest toolkit (Version
3.0.20229). Same problem. I elminated all data binding to make sure that is
not the culprit. Loading an empty page with just these controls makes it
draw slowly. And like my original post says, if I remove the nested
TabContainers it draws (relatively) quickly.

Thanks
