Interesting, have you tried browsing both with firefox, as I did and my script shield count didn't increase.

When I tried it for IE8 in the Independent I immediately got a jump of 150 on opening the page, then I got the site wants to run Flash activeX control, when allowed the script shield count jumped 188. But, for each page loaded it jumped about 60-100 and many site wants to run Flash activeX control for different pages.

This is one of the reasons why I don't use IE, activeX. So that site is media intensive, but it doesn't terminate or constantly rack up script shield count. I didn't try the second site with IE.

IE version 9.0.8112
OS Vista home premium SP/2


URL which terminates
http://www.independent.co.uk/

URL slow
www.KMHD.org


The first URL loaded in both FF 9b1 and IE9 for me.  It loaded a lot faster in FF

The second URL loaded at about the same speed in FF and IE.  Loaded at what I consider normal speed.

The first URL showed 7 tracking cookies and about 7 scripts according to NoScipt.  Based upon my experience about an average number of scripts.
The second URL has only 1 tracking cookie and very few scripts

Script Shield did show a little bump in activity when I loaded the pages but not anything I would consider outrageously high.

P.S. Thanks for the posting the second link.  Jazz fan here :)

No problem with either site for me.
