Why is Aqua theme so slow?

why is is that when I try to use the Aqua theme, it is incredibly slow? as the user moves the mouse around, it is constantly downloading the many images required. on the sample page on your site, or locally, it is smokin' fast, and very nice looking. but i put that exact same code on my site, and it's unacceptably slow. seems like maybe the aqua images need to be read into an array, but i'm not too sure how to do that.

thanks for any help!

It's an Internet Explorer issue. If you check with any other browser you'll notice it's OK, but IE insists on loading all the images over and over instead of returning them from cache.

The only solution that I know of is to include all the images linked from the Aqua theme somewhere in your HTML code, like this:

<div style="display:none">
  <img src="/calendar/skins/aqua/dark-bg.gif" />
  <img src="/calendar/skins/aqua/menuarrow.gif" />
  ... etc.
</div>

Hope this helps.
