for the past two or so weeks, galeon especially, but also usually mozilla, have been really slow to load pages -- and by "really slow" i mean up to an hour. lynx and w3m, OTOH, load the same pages in normal time. i'm utterly miffed as to what could be causing this -- has anyone seen something like this? for the record, i'm running galeon 1.2.5 and mozilla 1.0.0. thanks, </nori>
Are you running out of drive space on any of your partitions?Have you restarted X lately, and killed any moz processes while X/[?]dm is not running?
Maybe rename your .galeon and/or .mozilla directories temporarily and restart Moz/Galeon to see if that makes a difference?
See if the problem exists in another graphical browser, such as Konqueror or dillo or mozilla-firebird.
Does it happen for another user? Using a different GUI environment (icewm vs KDE vs wmaker, etc)? On a different X session (log in at VT2, then "startx -- :2")?
Is this dial-up, or cable LAN, or what? Do you have another connection you can try (a different ISP, take the box to a friend's house, college library jack, etc)?
