IE 11 freezes until graphics are displayed - sometimes
Hi guys. Running 1109600 in W7 Ult 64-bit. Win is up to date; just did an update two days ago. I also updated Adobe Flash yesterday, but the problem I have been having for some time has not gone away. I have done a google search, and found people with freezing browsers, but nothing like what I am having.
Basically, many pages I browse to in IE freeze until certain graphics are displayed. Usually, we are talking ads and ad banners - but not always. The page fully loads in a split second, and then completely freezes, until the graphic becomes visible. I actually see the space where the graphic is about to be displayed - it just appears as empty space. During the freeze, I can not scroll, I can not l-click nor r-click anywhere on the page, but I can close the browser (or the tab), and I can minimize it. Once the graphic appears, it's all fine. The freeze is usually anywhere from 5 sec to 8 sec., and as I said, it's usually ads and banners. I am not trying to get rid of the ads nor stop them from loading; generally, they are small and out of the way and I don't mind them. I am just want them to load with the rest of the page. I don't see the same behavior in FFox. Here is an ex. of what I am talking about:

See how about half the page loads in literally 1 sec, and the rest takes about an additional 5 sec? This is what happens to me quite often, but usually it's one small ad at the top or side, as opposed to half the page.
There wasn't much I could think to do... Spybot and Malewarebytes found nothing, and an sfc/ scannow found nothing. If I go to Manage Add Ons, the only thing enabled is Shockwave Flash Object. nothing is enabled in Accelerators nor Tracking Protection.
Was hoping someone could tell me where to look next.
Thanks in advance.
