[NTLUG:Discuss] Slow when Connected to Net

[Andrew Brown]

My system Red Hat 3.0 WS ES is slow when pulling up the net via a web browser. 
I am on a Toshiba Laptop with 512 SDRAM and 2.4GHz Processor. Plenty of juice 
and very fast when not online. In looking at my KDE System guard the 
connection is really eating up my processor. Is there something I can do to 
tune this a bit? It takes a full 30 seconds or so just to pull up my web 
browser. This is a recent issue, has not always been this slow.
