Yes our experience is that problems mostly occur with IE users but then
its a public site so its running at about 96-97% IE and 3-4% other
browsers. I've seen the occasional blank screen in FF but its very rare.
You could load up your machine using siege
http://www.joedog.org/JoeDog/Siege and then whilst thats hitting it you
can connect from other browsers to see if you can recreate it.
