How to figure out why my local host site takes so long to load?

Question

I noticed today and yesterday that running my site on local host is very slow. I highly doubt this is a code issue as when I put it up on my live site it went fast.

Not alot to go on here, but if you have a javascript intensive application, and you are debugging using I/E as your default browser, then the IDE does need to load that javascript into the debugger. I might recommend using Firebug's profiling tool or YSlow to see what files are are the culprit.

Also, (and this may or may not be relevant to your problem), I found a similar situation whereby some of our pages never fully load and seem to hangup on the last resource the browser wants to get. However, hitting refresh, the page loads without a hitch. It is sporadic and causes grief when doing selenium web tests. I believe it may be IIS related.
