Comment #40 on issue 12754 by shvillalba: "Resolving host" takes forever; disabling prefetching helps http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12754
For whatever it may be worth: here is how I "solved" the problem: ... I ditched Chrome and Firefox and switched to the Opera browser (running version 10.10 in Ubuntu Karmic). I couldn't believe how fast this thing is compared to the the other two: absolutely *unbelievable*!!! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
