I've been having a similar problem on IE 6 here at work. For a long time I just assumed that it was IE being stupid, because I never had a problem with Firefox at home, but maybe it's a bit more widespread than that.
The problem pops up only in threads, and seemingly only in certain ones (The "Star Control 3 and Doogs" thread is currently the most noticable troublemaker for me, as an example). I've tried to get an idea if someone's avatar or sig is stalling it out like you said, but I haven't seen anyone to link threads that have stalled that hasn't popped up with no trouble in threads that act normally.
Once I open up a page that stalls, it generally loads the title bar and then starts to labor. It really does stall the entire browser, too; even if I try to stop loading the page, I can't get it to do anything else until I close it out and restart it. It also never catches up in any kind of reasonable (or even unreasonable) time; I've left it over an hour lunchbreak to try to fully load a page, and it never made any additional progress.
I hope that helps a little, rather than just adding to the pile.

I also had problems with IE but with Firefox there hasn't been any on this site, so far.

In a bizarre twist, this was the very next thread to suffer the glitch for me. However, the fact that I'm posting here means that I've found a "workaround" of sorts, at least for the IE problem. Instead of opening the thread normally, I simply right-clicked the link and opened it in a new window. For some inexplicable reason it worked; no idea why I didn't bother trying that before.
EDIT: Actually, even more oddly, I can now access this thread normally. No idea why; maybe you're right about the caching thing, but again, everyone who has posted here, I've seen posts from with no trouble elsewhere.
