Comment 22 for bug 297143

It takes exactly 10 seconds for a connection to any new web page on 9.10.
Once in a web site directory things seem slower too but I cannot confirm this.
The older version takes .2 seconds for the exact same site ( I have two hard drives).
I also installed Opera 10.0, same thing. I am running DSL at 3.0. Puppy Linux takes .18 seconds to load the pages. I know this is accurate because I have software to measure internet speed.
There is definitely a bug in 9.10 regarding connecting to a new web site and the browser is NOT the problem.
I noticed the problem immediately when I upgraded to 9.10.
I have no idea about dialup, maybe it is OK on dialup.
