[SC.LUG] Mandrake 10.1 incredibly slow browsing on a small number of sites

[Ewan Leith]

I can't see it being an ipv6 issue, the only thing i can think of is dns.

try using some different dns servers, 158.43.240.4 and .3 are the pipex 
dns servers which are excellent - much better than the awful ones ntl have
