I have a question to ask about my browser speed using Mandriva. I am using DSL and sometimes it would take as long as 30 seconds delay to get to a website for both my Windows Operating system or Mandriva. I called my internet provider and they could only help me with windows. They bascially had me change my security levels in IE to a lower security setting, which helped my browser speed tremendously in Windows.

I noticed that my Netscape, Mozzila Firebird and even Konqueror take longer to turn a browser page. I went to edit prefrences and tried messing around with cookies in all 3 browser setting, but what is the optimum browser setting to have in either of the above browsers for mandriva Linux.

I know Windows has ActiveX and it may handle the plugins easier than the above, but is there anything I can do to optimize my browser speed in Linux?

I would appreciate any suggestions....

Hard to tell without any metrics, sites your visiting.. their servers and speeds..

Have you performed any speed tests to compare? Like at DSLreports.com or the such?
