Hate to burst your bubble, but this looks like a Linux problem.
I get the same speed you do loading
rv.net. But it loads instantly on
my wife's laptop with Vista and IE. Instantly. Same network, same
wireless router.
Can you guys test access speeds on your networks with a Windows
computer ?
Actually, it may or may not be a "linux" problem.....
It loads fast on my RHELv4.8 system. But slow on F12. As noted in
other posts, it isn't a browser issue.
In the back of my mind, from a few years ago, I remember there an issue
with the linux TCP/IP stack and some "mis-configured" routers. I need
to get some coffee and hopefully my brain will get in gear....
