Let me guess -- the table contains lots of data pulled from some external
source (e.g. an SQL database). This means that the page is sent to the
browser a tiny bit at a time, while the data is slowly loaded from the
external source.

This causes the forgetting that you talk about.

By buffering the output, you create the entire page and then shove it to
the browser in one big push. IE doesn't have time to "forget".

I've seen something similar before, but never cared enough to fix it. It's
an inexact science and will probably vary on a day-to-day or hour-to-hour
basis, depending on how much strain your external data source is under.
