Okay, I've discovered that the first load is consistently bad. By this I mean, when I start firefox, the first load that happens as part of this. (I also suspect that if I leave firefox for a while (subjective) that they first load when I resume using it is also bad. As an example, it too 2.5 minutes (yes, you read the right) to completely load the front page of www.ebay.com.au (which I have made my home page). As a comparison, Mozilla in VMWare loads www.ebay.com.au consistently in less than 5 seconds. And it's the same for other pages. For example, I've typed the last three paragraphs in the time it's taken to actually change the page from www.ebay.com.au to www.slashdot.org. In fact, it still hasn't happened. Ah, there it goes. Once it starts loading the page, then it usually loads very quickly. So what else can I test? R. > -- "It's a fine line between denial and faith.
