Why does Yahoo Answers lag with Internet Explorer?

My CPU usage jumps to about 98% and there is massive lag (making it hard to type since letters sometimes don't show up until I press the keys several times) while typing answers with Internet Explorer, but this is only on my home computer. It is Internet Explorer that is generating the CPU power. I don't have problems with my home computer using Firefox on Yahoo answers. What is causing my IE to use all that CPU power when trying to type in answers?

    It is possible that you have a bad cache file. Clear your history, temporary files (be patient) & cookies, then restart the computer and retry. This HELP link has instructions: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/se... .

    You may also be using an outdated version of IE, or not have your settings optimized. I've not seen anybody else posting about having this problem, and I use IE on all my computers (home, work, laptop) and do not have this problem at all.
