    For the past couple weeks I have had extremely bad performance when trying
    to access http://my.ebay.com using any of the following browsers under SuSE
    10.0 (fully up to date with YOU patches):

    Mozilla 1.7.12
    Firefox 1.0.7 & 1.5RC1
    Ephiphany 1.8.2

    It will often take 2-5 minutes to display the page with those browsers, but
    once it finally gets the page loaded it looks OK. But any links off of that
    page will also load very very slowly.

    Strangely enough though, on the same system Opera 8.51 loads the pages
    properly and quickly (a matter of a few seconds). This is consistent and
    repeatable, and it's so bad that Opera is the only browser I can use if I
    want to do business on EBay (which I have been doing a lot in the past
    couple weeks).

    Those browsers work fine on http://www.ebay.com, just not on
    http://my.ebay.com. I suspect it is not the browsers themselves but some
    dynamic library they have in common that Opera doesn't use.

    Anyone else seeing this wierdness?

    Thanks
    Michael
