 In wp-admin/index.php ajax loading of this stuff should only be enabled in
 non IE browsers.

 {{{
         var update1 = new Ajax.Updater( 'incominglinks', 'index-
 extra.php?jax=incominglinks' );
         var update2 = new Ajax.Updater( 'devnews', 'index-
 extra.php?jax=devnews' );
         var update3 = new Ajax.Updater( 'planetnews', 'index-
 extra.php?jax=planetnews'  );
 }}}

 They take a long time to load in both Firefox and IE.
 In Firefox however, you are allowed to navigate away from the page before
 these things finish.
 In IE, you have to wait and stare at the dashboard for 30 seconds in my
 case before you can navigate away from the page.

 The ajax loading helped a great deal with Firefox and I was so happy to
 see that with 2.1 I didn't have to replace the default dashboard...in
 Firefox anyway.

 The Ajax loading should either be fixed to work correctly in IE, be made
 an option, or auto detect and not run on IE.  But if it has to go back to
 the way it was in 2.0.5 it should be removed alltogether.
