Slow Surfing all of Sudden !?

[Graham Bentley]

Hi All,

I just recently loaded FreeBSD 6.2 (RC1?) compiled a new kernel
configured X installed Opera ....

Web browsing was really snappy !

I have added some more programs including Gaim and generally
tinkered around and today I notice that browser sessions are much
slower.

Looking at my router lights there seems to be a delay after pressing
enter (after typing the URL) then ... some seconds later the page comes
streaming in. Its odd because I noticed this exact behaviour some
months ago when I tried out PCBSD.

Everything starts of nice and quick as far as browsing the web
is concerned then after some time / event ? this delay gets
introduced ?

How would I go about trying to figure out what is causing this effect ?

Thanks !
