T, Yes, using an IP address rather than 'google.com' give MUCH faster SL response. Unfortunately the problem isn't just for Google, I get slow loading of any URL. So clearly I have a nameservice problem with SL that isn't present with XP. Are you saying that the reason XP avoids this is because of DNS caching that is a security problem. I am all for security, but the cost in browser response seems very high.
