When you have 15 minutes some time, run IPTRACE before browsing and
capture some of the delays. Then turn off IPTRACE and run IPFORMAT to
make the output readable (I think Steven wrote a program that analyzes
the IPTRACE data capture).

The "delta" time will tell you which packets had long delays. From that
you can deduce whether it is a name server delay or a web/email server
delay.

Since the delay occurs on both web and email, it might be a name server
problem. I have an ongoing problem with the Verizon name server -- my
mail server (but nothing else) has an exact 60 second delay every time
it tries to resolve an outgoing mail address. Thus, I use Earthlink's
DNS (which works fine).
