In subjective tests R&D has done using the following setup we see "no"
problem:

freebsd+firefox <--100mbs lan---> 6.1 network appliance <----T1
link----> internet
freebsd+firefox <--100mbs lan---> 4.9 network appliance <----T1
link----> internet

One of our testers has the same setup but is using winblows/ie in place of
freebsd+firefox and subjectively says the 6.1 system is slower than the
4.9 system.

I was just wandering if there were any tunables that might cause this.

Not to be too flippant, but is your win(what?)/ie tester tunable enough
to encourage into doing some objective, repeatable, illustrative tests?

Clearing browser caches and such before switching between systems, etc?

Cheers, Ian
