[Bug 788274] Re: js webpages take very long to load with javascript capable web browsers on Ubuntu Narwhal

[gene]

Got a fix. Well, it seems to have been a dns lookup problem. Here;s what I did:
edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file and have the following line as follows:
hosts:           files dns mdsn4#mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
Apparently, the "hosts:           files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns" prevent dns lookup of firefox and chromium from functioning properly, while all text browsers and epiphany + anything else are doing alright.
It is an interesting behavior, since my 10.04 system has the old "hosts:           files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns" -no issue whatsoever.
So I will have to change the bug description now.
