I tried the Mozilla binaries, disabling IPv6, and disenabling Pango, but still encountered this problem.
I found a solution to this slowness problem that is in fact related to DNS.
It seems my resolv.conf file had a bad listing which led to a timeout conditions, considerably slowing down web browsing.
My resolv.conf originally looked like: search etob.phub.net.cable.rogers.com nameserver 192.168.1.1 <-- problem entry nameserver 24.153.22.67 nameserver 24.153.23.66
I had changed my router address so it wouldn't conflict with my VPN and so 192.168.1.1 is no longer valid.
Changing my resolv.conf file to fixes the problem: search etob.phub.net.cable.rogers.com nameserver 192.168.17.1 nameserver 24.153.22.67 nameserver 24.153.23.66
Works great for me. Can anyone else confirm this solution?
