 * Shoot…as I was hitting the “Send Post” button I saw to put code between backticks,
   so here is the same thing as above and hopefully you can read it better….
 * `
    // TODO: Use API instead of SELECTs. if ( empty(gr) ) { $comments = $wpdb-
   >get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = '$post->ID'
   AND comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date"); } else { $author_db = $wpdb-
   >escape($comment_author); $email_db = $wpdb->escape($comment_author_email); $
   comments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID
   = '$post->ID' AND ( comment_approved = '1' OR ( comment_author = '$author_db'
   AND comment_author_email = '$email_db' AND comment_approved = '0' ) ) ORDER BY
   comment_date"); foreach($comments as $comment){ if($comment->user_id != 0){ $
   fname = $wpdb->get_var("select meta_value from $wpdb->usermeta where user_id 
   = $comment->user_id and meta_key = \"first_name\""); $lname = $wpdb->get_var("
   select meta_value from $wpdb->usermeta where user_id = $comment->user_id and 
   meta_key = \"last_name\""); if($fname != "" && $lname != "") $comment->comment_author
   = $lname . ", " . $fname; } } }

 * Well I solved it by commenting out the following 3 lines.
    I have no idea what
   the repercussions of this will be.
 *  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’ );

 * I don’t know much php and I don’t know ajax at all.
    In 2.0.5 the default dashboard
   took a long time to load no matter which browser I was in so I was so happy to
   see how quick things were in 2.1 until someone told me how slow it was for them
   and then I found that it was only in IE.
 * I’m sure there were major changes to the dashboard between 2.0.5 and 2.1 since
   like I said 2.0.5 was unusable in both browsers.
 * Are there sections I could try commenting out to see if that helps anything?
 * I have no idea how to debug this web stuff when it works fine in one browser 
   and not in another. Is there a way I can check all the requests coming out of
   IE to see if there is anything out of the ordinary?
 * Maybe it is some javascript hanging things up in IE.
 * Any help is appreciated.
 * ~Eric

 * Unless it is included and enabled by default in Firefox 2 I don’t have the fasterfox
   plugin.
 * This is really weird. If it was instant in Firefox and took 3 seconds in IE I
   wouldn’t even say anything, but this literally takes around 30 seconds to go 
   from the dashboard directly to a comment or from the dashboard to my profile.
 * The weird thing is that those links from the dashboard load just fine in IE if
   I copy them to the clipboard, go to the main page and then paste it in the address
   bar. But if I click on it from the dashboard or even if I paste the link in the
   address bar while the dashboard is loaded, it takes 30 seconds.
