Eric > I have the same Pismo upgrade as yours, and I use DHCP without any significant slowdown that I can detect. I have a cable modem feeding ethernet to a router/firewall that routes ethernet to my Airport Base which is configured as a simple bridge. My Pismo uses its' airport card and receives its' IP address via DHCP from the router/firewall. I have a fixed IP address with my cable company and a guaranteed 1MB down and 375 KB up. Surfing with Safari is super fast. How many machines are being served from your DHCP server? To me that would be where I would look for a slowdown.
