I have noticed that the build-up time of some website on my Knoppix 3.4 HD install is significantly slower compared to my WinXP installation. One extreme example is the website www.nhl.com . The head-graphics of the site comes up quickly, but it takes at least 30 seconds on my machine until the content of the page appears. On my WinXP install, everything comes up within seconds.
I have a DSL connection (1024 Bit/s down, 128 up) and the DSL-"modem" is connected to my PC via a network card. The phenomenon is independent from the browser used (Konqueror, Mozilla, Firefox). I have set up the internet connection with the Knoppix Internet Connection "wizard".
Is it a config issue on my machine or are some webservers slower when the requesting machine is a Linux system?
