1) The data reported is from a CLI in cygwin terminal, so least amount of overhead presumably.

Opera 9 loads the first page very slow, maybe 10 sec, but then the other pages are quite fast. My firefox is set up with UCSD proxy, so it'll be slower, and I don't use it normally. 4) See 1).

It takes just over a second to load and render http://www.sdsc.edu/ from within Auckland, as opposed to under a second for http://www.cellml.org/ (obviously, the pages don't have exactly the same amount of data required, and this is in Firefox, so this might be different than for you). I'm also not sure if you mean the network speed or the page rendering speed, so a few things to try that might narrow it down: 1) Can you give us some quantitative measure of what you mean by slow. I would recommend something like the following: time wget -O - http://www.cellml.org/ >/dev/null If this is fast, perhaps the time it takes for a complete page reload in your browser might be useful (Shift + F5 in most browsers). 2) Does the slowness happen for all pages or just some? 3) Is there any difference between browsers (e.g. is it just as slow in Firefox)? 4) How long does it take for http://www.auckland.ac.nz to load in your browser? > and I keep getting the warning from IE7 about "This website wants to > run the following add-on" "MSXML 5.0", ...? > Does this happen when you try to open a CellML model in IE or even on normal pages? Can you narrow down when this happens?
