For example, if I see an image I want to download, I right-click for the context menu and select Save Image As. Then, it often takes over 5 seconds for the download manager to appear. If the download manager is already showing in the taskbar, it still takes the same amount of time for it to show that something's being downloaded (i.e. it's like a mini-freeze of the browser).
Which brings me to another point. Why does something already in cache have to be re-downloaded (the progress bar goes from 0 to 100% in the download manager at a rate of over a meg a second)? I can understand that it's transferring the file from the cache to the target directory, but there doesn't seem to be a lag in IE or Opera.
