Hmmmm, 
   Sounds like IE is not prioritizing task the way netscape is or
something.  Is your main applet doing something that takes a long time
to calculate, maybe querying a large database or loading a bunch of
images or humongous class files?
  If any of those are the case, then there's some tweaking you could do.
I believe actually that Rich Wilkman posted in this group recently about
how to optimize applet loading time recently. You may want to look for
that post.

hope something up there helps,
