    Try View->Sidebar.   Should make it go away for good.

   You realize that MSIE is already running on your system?   That would
account for why IE loads so fast (it's basically opening a new window,
that's it).  As for 25 vs 15, that's odd.  I know the Linux version
loads quicker than 4.72.  I haven't had the chance to try the Windows
version yet.

    Navigator 6 is more standards compliant then IE, 3.x or 4.x,
therefore you might be running into that.  That's one of Netscape's main
goals with this release.
