Does anyone know why I'm getting extremely slow first browser loads..?
This usually only happens the first time I open the site in browser, and then runs just fine after that..
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated..!
If the first page you view has utf-8 characters your browser may need to import the necessary charsets, which takes time. This happens to me when I view the main EN wikipedia page in Opera.
Is that it?
I notice on some heavily loaded or low-bandwidth MediaWiki sites, particularly ones that are in ircache or the local squid cache's proxy, tend to load the background and stylesheets pretty quickly but there's a slight pause before content appears in Konqueror and Firefox. Once it's all been cached by ircache or the local squid, it's all real zippy anyway.
