<div>What could be reasons for it taking 'forever' for a page [more
than one, really] to load in Safari or Firefox. I have mchsi at
7633kbpsdown/482kpbs up and that's [I think] the fastest it goes.
But I have noticed over the past 2 or so days that loading pages in
these browsers is taking even more time than usual - at first I
thought it was the DNS problem & fixed that but loading sites is
slower than I am used to or remember it being not that long ago.<br>
</div>
<div>I did run Activity Monitor and checked the info there and
all seems fine - I'm running MacPro OSX.5.4 and latest Safari and
Firefox, not too many apps open, plenty of RAM...Belkin NWireless
Router [tho this comptuer is wired, not wireless]</div>
<div><br>
what else should I be checking for? I have unplugged all
connections and restarted several times.</div>
<div>[it just took 15 sec. in Firefox to load Apple's site, 20 sec.
for Amazon - and in both Safari and Firefox I get one of those colored
spinning beachballs if I try to close out of the browser...</div>
