I have an Intel 486 SX 25 MHz with only 8MB RAM serving as an ipmasq router.

Do you have enough RAM/Swap (I have 32MB swap, but I think that's a bit of overkill at the moment). Maybe try running 'top' for a while and see what is using the most resources (CPU, Memory) while you try and surf the net. -D
