Performance of IE7?

I have an applet that displays a map in a graphics panel. This applet runs fine under IE6, but with IE7 I seem to run into performance problems. Whenever a dialog box is dragged over the graphics, the shadow of the dialog remains behind, and it takes a long time before all the display is up to date.

The paintComponent(...) method of the JPanel window is called and the map is redrawn repeatedly during this process. So that there is a big hit on the resources of the machine. Here are my questions:

1. Is there something I can do other than redrawing the picture every time paintComponent() is called?

2. Since this problem seems to get worse with IE7, is there some IE7 setting, or some code change you could suggest to alleviate the problem?

Thanks for your help.

It is possible that the IE7 plugins are the problem.

When I downloaded the beta a while back, it was extremely slow.

From the Microsoft newsgroup, I learned that the plugin from Sun had a known issue. Disabling it fixed the slowness.

Look at the settings menu (I forget exact details since I am on IE6 here).
