I don't know if this will help much but if you increase your
web browser's number of simultaneous connections it could lessen
the effect of network latency WRT web browsing somewhat.
I do this for netscape via a line:
user_pref("network.max_connections", 16);
in ~/.netscape/preferences.js
I'm guessing the default is 4? Think of the limit of setting it to 1.
Then the waiting could be almost all latency (as opposed to data xfer).
If you have starband and if you try this I'd be interested if it helped things
or not.
