Hi Jack,
not much hard data to go on, so I'll just go with the usual posting
(someone should add this to FAQ if not there already)
( being pedantic, I guess, but what exactly do you use to test 'speed'
of pages loading? with what program? what site? )
seriously now, ifconfig settings - are they the same in SUSE & BSD?
how's the ping times to that site precisely when you are trying to load
the pages? (you may want to do the same thing when in SUSE). traceroute
to said server? tcpdump would show you if you are having too many
collisions / MTU /MSS issues.
how long does it take to resolve a domain name? (do you use your own
caching dns server? your upstream's ? roots? )
any messages in /var/log/messages that may point to issues?
If it's none of the obvious things, i would go straight to do a ktrace
on the program you are using to browse to see why it's taking so long
(or gdb if you are really keen <G>)
good luck,
Beto
