redirects in Internet Explorer

[eluser]gscharlemann[/eluser]
has anyone experienced any issues using:

Code:

redirect('controller/function', 'refresh')

in Internet Explorer? Everything works as expected, but the page "hangs" for 2-3 seconds before loading. I don't experience this issue with Firefox or Chrome.

I tried changing the 'refresh' to 'location' as suggested in the User Guide (URL Helper), but that didn't help.

any suggestions on how to fix this or what might be causing it are greatly appreciated it.
