Is this ADSL -- you can use the internet while you talk on the 
telephone, or some other versions?
What speed service, downstream and up?

We're going to need specifics.  "things" covers a lot.  Does the 
problem occur with other applications, or just Safari?  What about 
with Firefox?

Have you tried clearing Safari's cache and website icons?

Does this delay seem to be while the browser is trying to find the 
site, or while it's obtaining data from it?  Look at the bottom of 
the window - is it "stuck" saying contacting or connecting or ...?

Run a speed test here and tell us the results:

Launch Terminal.app and issue these two commands, then copy the full 
results and paste 'em into a reply here:

   dig www.google.com

   traceroute www.google.com
