I did - you can test some of this sites by doing an archieve and then
render from it - it is still slower... Well it still downloads stuff - like 
ads...

I wonder if much of the slowness comes from the ads?
(java script, unrelated sites => extra lookups)

Did a tcpdump, and some statistics on the cnn site
[Remember this is on an archieved(!) web page]
to/from		messages
-----------		---------------
resolver		192
doubleclick	  64
cnn			105 (+ 58 resolver requests for cnn)
ads			  42
ARP (own)	    8
TOTAL		382

PS
	The resolver queries are interesting, but thera are already bug reports
	that handle this...
