Input tags inserted before flash slowing down Internet Explorer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've inserted flash using swfobect and placed a search form to the page 
header.

Steps reproducing the problem:

1. Insert swfbject.js in HEAD
2. Insert code "<input type="text" name="q" size="10"> <input 
type="submit" value="Search">"
3. Insert pictures to check memory leak.
4. Insert below few flash objects embedded with swfobject.

Tested on:
IE7, Windows Vista
IE7, Windows XP
IE8, Windows XP

Check page in action - http://www.sky-radio.fm
Page without flash rendered much faster (swfobject.js still included) - 
http://www.sky-radio.fm/news/

Page will be rendered by IE faster if I'll do one of the following:

1. Remove search form from the page.
2. Move search form to the page bottom.
3. Remove swfobject.js from page.
4. Insert flash without swfobject.

Order of execution is always something to keep in mind. 

IMO rendering speed is an IE issue, it's outside the scope of SWFObject.
