in IE in the links, the change of the background-color via hover isn't
immediate;
for a moment I see the back div that is the container of the links;
is possible to resolve?

the link is an image?

if so, consider the benefits of text.

if not get a faster computer.

If the link is an image (and you don't want to change to text), you
need to use some javascript image preloading. The hover image isn't
loaded in the browser until you actually hover, so that blank time is
your browser downloading the image.
There are plenty of preloading scripts around, that will force the
browser to download the image before displaying it (but if you hover
over a link before the loading is finished, you still get the blank, so
it's not effective if you have many images to load)
