Why is OSX so slow at web browsing?
doesnt seem to matter what browser i use: safari, IE, firefox, it seems to take forever to load a new page. eg: it took 35 seconds to load the appleinsider.com page. I have a 1043 kbps donwload speed (dsl) on a iMac G5 2.1 with 2gb memory. It seems when i use a windoz machine, it's really fast. wuz up
Am i doing something wrong?

Be sure to have your router pass the IP-adresses for DNS and not (!) to use DNS-proxy on the router. This causes delays for my Inet connection. As soon as my "Apples" get the the real DNS servers everything is fine!
edit: it happens with most web sites. sometimes it's slow and then other times it's slower.

If you open up Terminal and type
cat /etc/resolv.conf
What do your see as nameserver 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 or what else?

#1 issue is the DNS servers you use. Often times the broadband providers DNS servers suck and you end up finding other ones that are much faster ;-)
