This is often a symptom of a bad DNS setup.

Try this: pick a web site that often locks up.  I'll use www.sun.com
as an example.  Run the nslookup command, "nslookup www.sun.com".

This should come back immediately.  If not, you're using a bad DNS
server.  Edit /etc/resolv.conf to fix it.  (Somebody else who
uses USWest could tell you what's in their /etc/resolv.conf.)

If nslookup is fast, but netscape is still slow, then you have some
other problem.
