I've had an iMac for about 3 months now and I noticed that websites I have visited load fairly quick. However, new websites, load slower. I understand that cookies help to make the loading time quicker, but there shouldn't (from my understanding) be this slow of a load time on unvisited websites. If I go to a website such as www.apple.com which I have visited before, it will appear nearly instantly. If I click on say iPhone, which has never been visited, it will take nearly 30 sec+ to view. Sometimes, the load will fail and I will need to refresh.

I have a 20mb bandwidth. I am using a NetGear Router (possible issue?). Also, a Motorola Surfboard modem.

Is there a setting that may need to be tweaked?

I have not tried Firefox or other web browsers as of yet.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
