Have you checked your cache memory settings? If you are using opera, you can increase it to max (400 mb) and everything will be blazing fast. :D

I use Google Chrome. Apparently it has no option to change cache size  :o

After doing some research, Chrome kinda has unlimited cache size :P

Try using firefox or any other browser (except IE). The speed should increase.

Why do people say that IE is not a good browser?
i have beed using it for ages and haven't experience any problems until our date
IE 9 has alot of awsome features, why do people hate him, he will kill himself soon  :P :P :P :P

IE 9 at 64bit is the fastest browser compared to Firefox 4 and Chrome.

I had problems with IE 8
For example, sometimes, flash videos wont load correctly, and also IE sometimes freezed when seeing flash.
Also freezed when i opened a lot of tabs. Its my habit -__-.
And even sometimes when i pressed the new tab thing.
PC is fine. No instability.

Too bad they dont offer it for XP.

Even if they did I wouldnt use it.

Firefix 4 is just as fast as IE9

According to other benchmarking sites, Opera and Chrome are the fastest browsers. Firefox remains in the middle. IE8 was a complete laggard in terms of speed. But IE9 is a huge improvement compared to IE8. Microsoft finally realized it needs to improve things if it wants to maintain its share of the browser market.

It depends on personal preference really. For example, I find opera much easier to use and use it. But many find google chrome easier. Try both out and find for yourself!

www.google.com/chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome)

Gmail is the best service out there. 8)

Redesigning does not matter. Cause I'm using my custom theme in Gmail.  8) ;D

Try changing the themes. ;)

Oh, I find Yahoo best. The current gmail does not look attractive to me at all.  ::)
The new Yahoo is cool. Like 'everything's t-h-e-r-e'.

Firefox 4 doesn't support the current gmail... The redesigned version is really cool, believe me. It's all 'robotic', 'magnetic', 'terminator' style.  :D

I'm using GMail since its inception, but can't find a theme like that anywhere.  :-\

Searched the internet too. Didn't find anything.

Yahoo may a little more attractive. But Gmail is faster and sleeker. Plus, the theme I'm using looks attractive too. More attractive than yahoo. ::)

Nah, it's not a theme... it's a new version, for Firefox.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-redesigned/

Try it, it's really nice. Remove it then if you want.

You're talking about the last version of Yahoo? I find it quicker than google... that is why shifted.  :-\

I find yahoo much slower than google. In google, you just need to give the time to load at the beginning. After that is over, everything is superfast. But in yahoo, the ads get in on the way.

This is why I use yahoo classic in my yahoo account.
