I'm running stable with some stuff off backports.org, like Firefox and
Thunderbird.

I can't pin down exactly what caused the problem, I've installed karm
and flashplayer-nonfree lately too, I've removed flashplayer and that
hasn't fixed the problem.

Now some web pages download really slowly - including www.debian.org!
The behavior goes something like this: I browse to that address and
Firefox (or Mozilla or Evolution, they all behave the same way for a
given web site, hence I suspect a library problem) contacts the server,
and starts transferring data, and displays the page incrementally in
teeny-tiny bits, about one graphic per second and up to 10 (wow, 10!)
words a second. Slowly, slowly the web page will be displayed
(rendered?) and eventually I'll get the page.

what results do you get using wget for the same sites?

Now that is weird - wget www.debian.org downloads the site at about
300B/s (yes, bytes per second) Am I missing something?

But if I start my VM and load XP debian.org comes down in about 2
seconds still.
