IE7 Slow when Protected Mode Turned ON

Internet Explorer in Vista is extremely slow when "Protected Mode" is turned on. Runs normally fast when Protected Mode is turned off. ( Protected Mode is unique to Vista, not used in XP, and is turned on by default )

Turn Protected Mode off in TOOLS * INTERNET OPTIONS * SECURITY * Uncheck Enable Protected Mode for all 4 zones.

The internet has many postings on this problem, it is widespread and no solutions to date. Disabling Phishing Filter, add-ons, pop-up blocker no help. Uninstalling McAffee no help.

It is soooo slow that it takes 30 seconds or more to load any site, where Firefox loads a site in less than 3 seconds.

Has anyone found a fix? Should I contact DELL or Windows Tech Support?
