Re: [Debian-NYC] Thanks for yesterday!

Here is mine without the q:

With Windows 7 I can see the NYTimes logo nearly instantly and the page is loaded w the adds and the NYTimes video within like 15 sec...

With Iceweasel I don't even move off the previous page before the same or more time, then it is a blank screen for another period of time then the NYTimes logo with the rest of the page blank etc etc.

Even better, run it without the -q, to see the time it spends
downloading vs. the time it spends resolving (to follow up on the
earlier suggestion of broken or timing-out DNS resolvers:

0 dkg@pip:~$ time wget -O/dev/null http://nytimes.com/
