Why is my computer running slow when I start IE?

I have run AdAware, Spybot, AVG, and Disk Cleanup, and I installed all Windows XP updates including SP2, but my computer is still lagging when I start Internet Explorer. My homepage is set to Gmail, and after it finishes loading it, it works just fine if I navigate to another page. I'm using IE 7 on an HP Pavilion desktop with a cable modem. Would Disk Defrag solve the problem or something else?

if u have already clean ur registry than go to www.download.com and search for CCLEANER and download it and scan for problems and issues and than fix it.

if it also doesnt help than click on tools on IE windows and than click on delete browsing history and click on delete all.
