It turns out I no longer have any machines with ie6 on them...

I ran in to similar issues testing in IE8 however (I regret updating from ie7)
the malaria page at its best in IE only ever loaded in 200 or so 
seconds...compared
to 20 seconds in some other browsers.

a couple similar pages might be better grounds for checking out, for me they 
were
running in to the same issues as the malaria one.

be sure to empty your cache... and let me know
I am getting the script timeout warning and other 
elements like unreliability of polygon mouse over
which might be ie8 beta specific.. so I 
cant be certain. (Damn MS anyway)

I have fixed an error where GeoXml was adding a Listener for a sidebar that 
didnt 
exist this was throwing some errors in IE, while I cannot test in IE6, it seems 
fully functional in IE8 (compatibility mode) which presumedly means it works in 
IE7. 
Can you let me know what  you see currently on the above pages?

I've found the infowindow will not popup when a polygon is clicked in IE8. I've
verified the issue is present in the latest (May 15) build.

I am told that the best way to get IE8 to behave itself with the API is to add 
this to your html

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">

I saw the mention of infowindows and wondered if it might be related to the API 
change that google made a few weeks ago. They have deprecated older API's and 
their 
minimum revision now loads the infowindow code on demand but there are 
circumstances 
where the API doesn't recognise the demand and you get various errors, 
especially (in 
my experience) in IE which degrades differently to other browsers. I wrote a 
little 
about it here, there is a very simple fix to rule this particular issue out;
