Public bug reported: I'm not really sure what the problem is. Web browsing seems really slow with Edgy. If I reboot and go back to Windows XP, browsing is faster..
The symptom is weird. If I go to http://slashdot.org, which is usually lightning fast, the firefox just sits there, and the status is: "Looking up slashdot.org..." for a couple of seconds (maybe about more than 5 seconds or so). Eventually it found what it was looking for, and it draws the screen pretty fast. I thought it was maybe a browser problem, but the same delay happens too with lynx. It sits there with "Looking up slashdot.org first" for a couple of seconds.. One possibility is that this is a DNS problem, but I don't think it is. My DNS server is done by my wireless router (DNS relay), and this problem doesn't occur on Windows XP. I don't know what else could be the problem. If I browse my local server here, it goes really fast (the host name is in /etc/hosts) It maybe related to bug: "63319 [edgy] web browsing is excessively slow", but I can't be sure, so I just filed a new bug report. It'll be great if this can be fixed soon.. :-) Any hints on how to fix this is very much appreciated.
