Sounds like a DNS issue.  Try accessing the websites you're having problems 
with via their IP address instead of their DNS name.  Eg:

<http://216.239.37.99> instead of <http://www.google.com>

If you don't see the slowness when using the IP address, perhaps try using a 
different DNS server.

One additional thing to try on your Windows boxen, if you have any, is an:

"C:\>ipconfig /flushdns"

...which should report:

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
