And does it feel the same with very simple webpages? In addition to the DNS server issues mentioned by Les, web browsers can be quite slow. If a page has complex scripting or styling, it can be slow to draw (try turning off Java, JavaScript, and styling). If your browser is chugging through a large cache or history, it can be slow (try reducing the size of your cache or history collecting). You could try a different browser, that'd give you a comparison without having to mangle your preferred settings. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
