[PLUG] Why does linux browse at one tenth the speed of Windows XP?


I have two primary machines, one runs Windows XP for things that don't
work on my Mandrake Linux Workstation. Since upgrading to Mandrake
version 10, web-browsing is extremely sluggish on the Linux Box (an
Athlon XP 1700).

I have already tried tweaking hosts and resolv.conf, dig suggested the
computer was not resolving from the preferred server so commenting out
the backup servers sped performance a little, I also added every common
alias of the computer to the hosts entry for 127.0.0.1 as suggested in a
thread I found in the Mandrake Club.

Also has anyone had any luck making Samba 3 function as a member server
in a Windows 2003 Active Directory environment?
