See if TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS>GENERAL TAB, Settings, Never, does the trick.
You will be forced to click the Refresh Button to get anything new on a
page, and I think you will find this to be annoying, but it should solve the
problem you think you have.
The Settings Button has 4 radiobuttons that you can choose from, my guess is
that you have Automatic selected. I have my machine look for updates when I
visit a page -- I assume it does not look for updates when I am not
visiting, or when I am but have not left and come back or clicked Refresh.
Perhaps this setting will work for you instead of Never. But if you have
selected Automatic, then this could be your issue.
I'm not sure that IE eating resources is your problem though because this is
all done through timeslice management. While the memory number may be large,
the timeslice is very short, and the impact on your life should be very
minimal.
You have not told us what your OS is, what the system resources are, which
version of IE you are using, or any number of other crucial details, but I
going to guess that you have insufficient memory that's slowing you down.
