what is the CPU / swap file / RAM loading like?

have you tried different browsers? Opera is twice as fast as IE and 20 times
as fast if you turn images off

does the design of the websites themselves suck? eg requests to other
servers for tracking images / banners / assorted crap that appear at the top
of pages so other server response time slows your server down
