Speed internet browsing via a local domain name server
Authored by: ms_t_rie on May 04, '05 12:39:16PM

I agree, my browsing speed on my Mac tends to be considerably FASTER than the browsing speed on my husband's PC. Both of us are using Firefox, so it's not a difference in browsers. (IMO, Safari is much slower than Firefox) With both of us going through the same router to the internet, the connection speed isn't the factor either, although having a fast connection could make the DNS lookup from being noticeable.

Browsing in a Virtual PC on the Mac is VERY slow, but that's probably due to the slowness of Virtual PC more than anything else. But my husband's PC is a high-end game system, it has PLENTY of power, more than 3x what my Mac has. It annoys him sometimes when I can browse faster than he can to the same sites :)
