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.
